Washington, D.C.

 

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly called Washington or D.C., is the capital city and the federal district of the United States. The city is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern border with Virginia and borders Maryland to its north and east. Washington, D.C. was named for George Washington, a Founding Father, victorious commanding general of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War, and the first president of the United States, who is widely considered the "Father of his country". The district is named for Columbia, the female personification of the nation.

Washington, D.C. anchors the southern end of the Northeast megalopolis, one of the nation's largest and most influential cultural, political, and economic regions that also includes some of the nation's largest and most prominent cities, including Baltimore, Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. The city had 20.7 million domestic visitors and 1.2 million international visitors, ranking 7th in the U.S., in 2022.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress. As such, Washington, D.C. is not part of any state, nor is it one itself. The Residence Act, adopted on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district along the Potomac River. The city was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the District of Columbia, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia and including the existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria, was officially recognized as the federal district; the city initially comprised only a portion of its modern territory, as a distinct entity within the larger federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria. In 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district, though locally elected government lasted only three years and did not return for over a century. There have been several unsuccessful efforts to make the district into a state since the 1880s; a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021 but was not adopted by the U.S. Senate.

The city's major industries revolve around government services, tourism, education, and healthcare. Government agencies, international organizations, and advocacy groups contribute to the city's dynamic economy.

Health and wellness play a vital role in the nation's capital, with world-class medical facilities and a focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle. Notable institutions like the Washington Hospital Center and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital provide cutting-edge healthcare services to residents and visitors. There are also health and wellness facilities and services available. The Salamander Spa Washington, DC located in the heart of the city, this luxurious spa offers a range of treatments including massages, facials, and holistic therapies. Vida Fitness provides state-of-the-art gym facilities, fitness classes, personal training, and spa services. MINT Health Club offers fitness classes, personal training, spa treatments, and nutritional guidance. Yoga District offers a variety of classes including vinyasa, Hatha, and restorative yoga at several locations throughout D.C. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Georgetown situated in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, this spa offers luxurious treatments, massages, and wellness packages. Flow Yoga Center offers a range of classes suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

Top sites in Washington, D.C. are Lincoln Memorial, the National Gallery of Art, and the Washington Monument.

Population: 678,972 (2023). ZIP code: 20001. Area codes: 202, 771. Elevation: 409 ft (125 m). Area: 68.35 sq mi (177.0 km2).

 

FAQs

How did is Washington, DC got its name?

The new federal territory was named the District of Columbia to honor explorer Christopher Columbus, and the new federal city was named for George Washington. In 1790 French-born American engineer and designer Pierre Charles L’Enfant was chosen to plan the new capital city; meanwhile, surveyor Andrew Ellicott surveyed the 100-square-mile (260-square-km) territory with the assistance of Benjamin Banneker, a self-educated free Black man. The territory surveyed by Ellicott was ceded by Maryland, a slave state, and Virginia, the Southern state with the largest slave population, thus contributing to a significant Black presence in Washington. Construction of the Capitol building, the presidential palace (now the White House), and several other government buildings was almost complete when Congress moved from Philadelphia to Washington in December 1800. There were, however, few finished dwellings and even fewer amenities in Washington at the time, making the first several years rather unpleasant for the new residents.

 

Why is Washington, D.C. so famous?

The city was nearly destroyed during the War of 1812 against Great Britain. The city’s population remained small for a while, but it suddenly expanded after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, when many newly freed slaves came to live there. Today Washington, D.C., is a 68-square-mile federal district home to important government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, where the Senate and the House of Representatives meet; the White House, where the president lives and works; and the Supreme Court Building, where many important court rulings are made. The city is also full of landmarks including the Washington Monument, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial.

 

What is the famous street in Washington, DC?

When you visit Washington, DC, you'll probably find yourself traveling along Pennsylvania Avenue, as it's such an important road. The surrounding historic site is easy to get to as well. While parking is always a hassle in DC, you'll find plenty of metro stations that can get you close, like the Smithsonian, Chinatown, Metro Center, and McPherson Square stations. If you're visiting Pennsylvania Avenue, you may want to check out some of the surrounding attractions as well. To the south, you'll find the National Mall, a well-maintained park home to some of the most iconic monuments and museums in town, including the Washington Monument and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
