Washington, D.C., was established in 1791 as the newly
designated capital of the United States, strategically located along
the Potomac River. President George Washington appointed French-born
architect Pierre (Peter) Charles L’Enfant to design the city,
drawing inspiration from the grand urban layouts of European
capitals such as Paris, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe, and Milan. His
ambitious vision included an expansive, garden-lined avenue—now the
National Mall—stretching approximately one mile (1.6 km) in length
and 400 feet (120 m) in width, flanked by some of the most
historically significant buildings in the nation.
Throughout the centuries, Washington has remained at the epicenter
of American governance, culture, and diplomacy. As the seat of
power, the city houses the three branches of the U.S. federal
government: the legislative branch (Congress), the executive branch
(the President and the White House), and the judicial branch (the
Supreme Court). In addition to being the nation’s political hub,
Washington is home to 177 foreign embassies and numerous global
organizations, including the World Bank Group, International
Monetary Fund (IMF), Organization of American States, National
Geographic Society, and the American Red Cross.
With an estimated population exceeding 700,000, Washington, D.C.,
ranks as the 20th most populous city in the United States. However,
during the workweek, an influx of commuters from the surrounding
Maryland and Virginia suburbs raises the city's daytime population
to well over a million. The greater Washington metropolitan area,
spanning parts of Maryland, Virginia, and even West Virginia, is the
sixth largest metro region in the country, with a 2017 estimated
population of 6.2 million.
Beyond its political significance, Washington, D.C., is a cultural
and historical treasure trove, boasting an unparalleled collection
of museums, galleries, and monuments. Many of these institutions,
including the Smithsonian Museums, the National Archives, the
Library of Congress, and the National Gallery of Art, are free to
the public, offering an immersive experience into the nation's
history and artistic achievements. The city is also home to renowned
performing arts venues such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts and historic theaters like Ford’s Theatre, where President
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
