Washington was the first city in history to be created solely for the purpose of governance. Following the Revolution, members of congress had hotly debated the question of a permanent home for themselves and for those departments- the Treasury, the patent Office, and so on - Which even the sketchiest of central governments would feel obliged to establish. 

In 1790, largely in order to put an end to congressional bickering, George Washington was charged with selecting a site for the newly designated federal district. Not much to anyone's surprise but to the disappointment of many, he chose a tract of land on the banks of the Potomac River, a few miles upstream from his beloved plantation Mount Vernon.

The District  of Columbia was taken in part from Virginia and in part from Maryland. at the time is was laid out, its hundred square miles consisted of gently rolling hills, some under cultivation and the rest heavily wooded, with a number of creeks and much swampy land along the Potomac. There is now a section of Washington that is commonly referred to as Foggy Bottom; that section bore the same nickname a hundred and eighty years ago. two port cities, Alexandria and Georgetown, flourished within sight of the new capital and gave is access by ship to the most important cities of the infant nation- Charleston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Newport, Salem and Portsmouth- and also to the far- off ports of England and the Continent.
