Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It's the center of the national government. It's a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture.
Washington was created in 1790, when Congress (the highest lawmaking body of the U.S.A.) decided to place the nation's new capital in the east of the country. It was built halfway between the northern and the southern states of America. And of course it was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States.
