About Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C., is the federal district and seat of the U.S. government, founded along the Potomac River and named for George Washington. It is home to the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court. The National Mall, lined with monuments, memorials, and the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, draws visitors from around the world, and Pierre L’Enfant’s plan still shapes the city’s grid of avenues and circles.
