Washington, D.C. was founded in 1791 to serve as the new
national capital. In 1791, President Washington commissioned Pierre
(Peter) Charles L'Enfant, a French-born architect, and city planner,
to design the new capital. He based his design on plans of cities
such as Paris, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe, and Milan that Thomas Jefferson
had sent to him. L'Enfant's design also envisioned a garden-lined
"grand avenue" approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) in length and 400 feet
(120 m) wide in the area that is now the National Mall. On August
24–25, 1814, in a raid known as the Burning of Washington, British
forces invaded the capital during the War of 1812. The Capitol,
Treasury, and White House were burned and gutted during the attack.
Most government buildings were repaired quickly; however, the
Capitol was largely under construction at the time and was not
completed in its current form until 1868. Washington had an
estimated population of 681,170 as of July 2016. Commuters from the
surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's
population to more than one million during the workweek. The
Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a
population of over 6 million, the sixth-largest metropolitan
statistical area in the country.
