    The founding fathers of the United States did not want any state to have power over the

    capital city. So Virginia and Maryland donated land for create a special district on the Potomac River that was called the District of Columbia. The new capital city was named after George Washington and it was built within the new District. Unlike a state the District of Columbia is governed by the federal government. The only Government it has is a mayor and city council. The people also vote for a person to represent them in Congress, but its representative cant vote on federal laws. It may not seem fair, but thats life in the District.
