The capital of Zambia is Lusaka, located in the south-central part of Zambia on a limestone plateau. The area in which Lusaka is situated fell under British administration during the colonial era. In 1935 Lusaka became the capital of the British colony of Northern Rhodesia. When the colony became the independent country of Zambia in 1964, Lusaka became the new country’s capital.
