The history of Washington, D.C. is complex, rich, and symbolic. Washington, D.C. became the nation's capital as a result of a compromise reached in 1790 by Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Since then, the current site has served as the federal government's permanent home, and George Washington personally chose it. The location was chosen to unite northern and southern states at the time.

President George Washington chose the location and dimensions, which were a square with sides  16 kilometers long and corners directly north, east, south, and west of the center. Maryland and Virginia ceded the land to the new city, but the Virginia section was returned in 1847, so what is now the modern District was once part of Maryland.

If you expect a solemn and uptight metropolis, the United States' capital will surprise you. The residence of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court, as well as many other state-related, bureaucratic, and official buildings, is notable for its extraordinary ethnic diversity, vast parklands, and pleasant walking scale of the streets. In Washington, you can easily lose track of time: there are numerous free museums with incredible collections where you can easily lose track of time.
