Washington DC Tours Location Washington D.C., synonymous with the District of Columbia, is located in the middle of the Potomac river, Maryland, and Virginia. Description Washington D.C. is the capitol of the United States. It was intentionally made into a district rather than a state due to debates over state vs. federal powers at the time. A Washington D.C. tour will reunite you with the roots of the United States as you witness the replay of history right before your very eyes. As you tour Washington D.C. you may discover the Library of Congress that is the home to the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the U.S. Constitution. You may even run into an elected official or two as you visit the United States Capitol building or the White House. Washington D.C. is filled with tribute to former Presidents such as the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. There is so much to see in Washington D.C., as so many decisions were made there that have impacted the entire world. History It was founded on July 16, 1970 as a federal district in accordance with the United States Constitution. It was purposefully planned to be a federal district to keep it distinct from the 50 U.S. states. Washington D.C. was named after George Washington, the first president of the United States.
