Canberra was officially declared the capital of Australia on March 12, 1913. The city was purpose-built to serve as the nation's capital and was chosen as a compromise location between Sydney and Melbourne. The laying of the foundation stone for the Parliament House took place that same day, marking the beginning of its development.
