Ottawa was chosen as the capital of the Province of Canada in 1857 by Queen Victoria. The decision was influenced by Ottawa's strategic location on the border of English and French-speaking regions, as well as its relative security from American invasion, given its distance from the U.S. border. Additionally, Ottawa's status as a lumber town made it a center of commerce and trade, contributing to its selection as the capital.
