Created in 1911, the ACT was originally called the Federal Capital Territory, the current name being acquired in 1938.

The terms of the territory senators are tied to the term of the House of Representatives, not to the term of the Senate. This means that if there is an election for the Senate only (as last happened in 1970), this would involve only half the state senators, and the territory senators' terms would continue.
