The District of Columbia (D.C.) is the capital of the United States, functioning as both a city and a federal district, and is not a state. It was established in 1790 when land was ceded by Maryland and Virginia for the purpose of creating a federal district to house the nation's capital. The District of Columbia is governed by a mayor-council system, but Congress retains ultimate authority over the district.
