Washington, D.C., officially known as the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., serves as the capital city and federal district of the United States. Situated on the eastern bank of the Potomac River, it forms the southwestern border with Virginia and shares borders with Maryland to the north and east. The city was named after George Washington, a Founding Father, renowned military leader of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and the first President of the United States. Meanwhile, the district derives its name from Columbia, the personification of the nation.
