Introduction
Our
nation's capital, Washington D.C., is located near the
eastern shore of the United States. In 1790 the United
States Congress agreed on a location along the Potomac River for a national capital.
Maryland and Virginia agreed to give land for
the capital city. This area is called the District of Columbia and it resides in the
same location today.
