THE HISTORY OF WASHINGTON D.C.

Originally established by the U.S. Constitution in 1790, Washington D.C. was envisioned as a grand city embodying the ideals of a new nation. Although it started as a modest settlement on land from Maryland and Virginia, the city has grown to include historic neighborhoods and iconic monuments, all while preserving a welcoming, small-town charm thanks to its community-centered districts.

Today, D.C. welcomes millions of visitors to explore its historic sites, world-class museums, and thriving local scenes. Its rich, diverse culture seamlessly blends legacy with innovation, making it a captivating destination for all.
