Washington, D. C., is the capital of the United States. It is a big business and financial center. It is also one of
the country’s most beautiful and historic cities and the site of its most popular tourist attractions.
Washington serves as the headquarters of the federal government. The President of the United States, the
members of Congress, the Supreme Court of justices, and about 370.000 other federal government employees
work in the Washington area.
Washington is important to the American people in another way. The city is the symbol of their country’s unity,
history, and democratic tradition.
Every year, millions of people from all parts of the United States and from other countries visit Washington.
They go to see such important government buildings as the United States Capitol, where Congress meets, and
the White House, where the President lives and works. They visit the Washington Monument, Lincoln
Memorial, and other famous structures dedicated to American heroes of the past. They also tour the city’s
many museums, which together house the world’s largest collection of items from America’s past.
Most of Washington’s main government buildings, monuments, and museums stand in the west-central part of
the city. Many of its buildings and monuments are magnificent white marble structures. Parks and gardens add
natural beauty.
Suburbs spread out from the city in all directions. Unlike most cities, Washington has no large industrial areas.
This is so because government, rather than manufacturing or trade, has always been the city’s main business.
Washington lies in the south-eastern United States, between Maryland and Virginia. It is the only American city
that is not part of the state. Washington covers the entire area of the District of Columbia, a section of land that
is under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Washington is one of the cities in the world that was designed before it was built. President George
Washington chose the city’s site in 1791. He hired Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, to draw up
plans for the city. Washington replaced Philadelphia as the nation’s capital in 1800. L’Enfant and other
members of a commission appointed to plan the city named it in honor of George Washington. The D. C. in the
city’s name stands for District of Columbia.
