History

Main article: History of the Australian Capital Territory

Before European settlement the area now known as the ACT was inhabited by three Aboriginal tribes: the Ngunnawal, Walgalu, and Ngarigo. The history of the Australian Capital Territory as a Territory of Australia began after the Federation of Australia in 1901 when it was created in law Indigenous Australians are descendants of the first known human inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands. The Ngunnawal people (alternatively Ngunawal tribe) are the Indigenous Australian inhabitants whose traditional lands encompass much of the area now occupied by the The Walgalu one of the two Aboriginal peoples who originally lived in the region now occupied by Canberra, the capital of Australia, and is officially recognized The Ngarigo people were the aboriginal people who lived south-east of the Canberra area, According to Norman Tindale in his 1974 catalogue of Australian

White exploration and settlement did not occur until the 1820s. From 1824 onwards, settlements and homesteads, and ultimately some small townships such as Hall and Tharwa, were established in the area. Hall, is a small town in the north of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT Australia. For other meanings including organizations named `Tharwa' see Tharwa (disambiguation.

One homestead of special historical interest was Lambrigg, near Tharwa. This was the place in which William Farrer developed the rust-resistant Federation wheat strain that had a major beneficial effect on Australia's wheat industry. William James Farrer ( 3 April 1845 – 16 April 1906) was a leading Australian Agronomist and Wheat Breeder Rusts are Fungi of the order Uredinales. Many of these species are plant Parasites. Wheat ( Triticum spp is a worldwide cultivated grass from the Levant area of the Middle East. Farrer died at Lambrigg in 1906.

When the constitution for the Commonwealth of Australia was being negotiated between the colonies, a point of contention between the colonies was the location of the national capital, with both Melbourne and Sydney claiming the right to be the capital. The Constitution of Australia is the law under which the Australian Commonwealth Government operates For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Melbourne ( is the second most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 3 Sydney (ˈsɪdniː is the most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 4 A compromise was reached whereby a separate capital city would be created in New South Wales, provided it was no closer than 100 miles (160 km) to Sydney. Until such time as the new city was established, Melbourne was to be the temporary capital of Australia.

The present site was chosen in 1908,^[4] with additional territory at Jervis Bay (now a naval base on the NSW coast) allocated so the national capital could have a seaport. The Jervis Bay Territory is a territory of the Commonwealth of Australia. In 1909 New South Wales transferred the land for the territory to federal control and in 1910 an act of parliament created the legal framework for the territory. ^[5][6] The Minister for Home Affairs, King O'Malley, who had charge of the legislation creating the ACT, also proposed a bill making the ACT an alcohol-free area. King O'Malley (July 1858 – 20 December 1953) was an Australian politician With his strong support, the bill became law later that year, though it was shortly thereafter repealed. O'Malley also pushed for a form of land tenure that restricted land holders to leasehold, rather than freehold, on the basis that this would stop land speculation and give the national government, as the lessor, more control over development. Leasehold is a form of property tenure where one party buys the right to occupy land or a building for a given length of time Fee simple is an estate in land in Common law. It is the most common way Real estate is owned in common law countries and is ordinarily the most This too was adopted by the national Parliament.
