Washington DC – City of Washington

The official capital of the United States, a city located within the District of Columbia, which is a separate territory that is not part of any state. Washington was founded in 1790. The name of the city was chosen in honor of the first president of America – George Washington, to emphasize his merits in the founding and gaining the independence of the American state. Washington is located in the east of the country, not far from the Atlantic coast of the United States, on the territory that the two US states of Virginia and Maryland allotted for this purpose.

Compared to many other cities in the United States, Washington is quite small – about 650 thousand people live within the city, but together with the suburbs, called the Washington metropolitan area, the population is an impressive 5 million people.

September 18, 1793, the first US President George Washington laid the foundation stone for the future Capitol building with his own hands. In addition, all three branches of government of the United States of America are located here: the President of the United States, who lives in the city center, in his residence – the White House, the US Congress, which sits in the Capitol building, as well as the judiciary represented by the US Supreme Court. In addition, almost all executive authorities are also located in Washington.

After the decision was made to allocate land and create a city, specifically for the functions of the capital, one of the most famous architects and urban planners, Pierre Lanfant, was appointed the main author of the architectural plan of the capital. He divided the territory of the city with a rectangular grid of streets, and overlaid diagonals on top, which in the future turned into wide city avenues. The architect Langfang envisioned the development of the city in the Baroque style.

Today, Washington is one of the few US cities that impose restrictions on high-rise construction, for this reason there are no skyscrapers in the city, which looks rather unusual for North American cities. Thus, the tallest building within the city is the Washington Monument, whose highest point is at around 169meters. The oldest part of the city of Washington is called Georgetown, the buildings in this area of ​​the capital date back to the end of the seven hundredth years.

Washington is a city of southern industriousness and northern charm.

– John F. Kennedy

Every four years, residents of Washington and guests of the city watch on the streets of the capital one of the most important events in the country’s political life – the inauguration of the highest official – the President of the United States. Anyone can attend the inauguration ceremony, admission to which is always free. Usually, uninvited guests watch the inauguration from an area located in the center of the city’s government quarter called the National Mall.

With the onset of spring (end of March – beginning of April, depending on weather conditions), the most tourist season begins in Washington, which falls during the cherry blossom season, the festival is called the “National Cherry Festival”. Washington is one of the ten most visited cities in the United States by tourists, in 2015 it was visited by 19.3 million tourists from all over the world.
