When was Canberra discovered?

It was never discovered. The city Canberra was built just so Australia could have a Capital. People couldn't decide if Melbourne or Sydney should be the Capital of Australia so people made a city called Canberra between Sydney and Melbourne to be Australia's Capital.Further information:Cities themselves are not discovered, but the regions where they come to be built are discovered.The local Aboriginal nation, comprising the Ngambri and the Ngunnawal people, had been living in the Canberra region long before Europeans first found it.Following European settlement of the continent, where Australia's capital city, Canberra, is now located became rich farming land known as Limestone Plains. Little-known Australian explorer Joseph Wild, an ex-convict, together with James Vaughan and Charles Throsby, first explored the area in 1815.


When was Canberra chosen to be the Capital?

Shortly after Australia's Federation on 1 January 1901, it was decided that the nation's capital should not be either Sydney or Melbourne, but should be situated between the two cities.Once it was decided that Australia's capital would be neither Melbourne nor Sydney, land for the Australian Capital Territory (originally Federal Territory of Australia) was purchased from New South Wales for the purpose. The Federal Capital Territory was founded, on 1 January 1911, in the Yass-Canberra district. The first survey peg marking the beginning of the development of the city of Canberra was driven in on 20 February 1913. On 9 May 1927, Parliament moved to the new national capital at Canberra, where it met in what is now called Old Parliament House.
