presently after the U. S. gained the fashionable conflict, the Congress debated the place the capital (city) could be. They desperate that if it became in a state, that state might have an unfair benefit. They ruled that Maryland and Virginia could each and each provide up some land to style a federal district, which does no longer be a state and the place they might build the capitol (construction) and different government homes. on the time, the only city of any length interior the district became Georgetown. As Washington became equipped up, it grew to become the main city and included Georgetown and something of the district. In 1846 Congress gave the Virginia area of the district returned to Virginia, via fact it became around the Potomac River from the government section; and the quick-sighted Congress (What else is new?) thought it would be of no use to the federal government. That section is now Arlington County, VA. Washington, DC is the capital of the country. The purposes of government of the District of Columbia (Colombia is a u . s . a . in South u . s . a ..) are divided with the aid of the domestically elected District government ("residing house rule") and Congress (with a veto means). The District has no balloting representatives in Congress.

The capital of Washington state is Olympia; Washington DC is a federal district (not a state or commonwealth) and a city belonging to no state. However, based on your spelling of 'capital', you are referring to the Capitol building, which is at the intersection Pennsyvania Ave NW and and Maryland Ave SW.

Umm... are you serious? Cities do not have a capitol. Washington has a mayor and city council.

if you're talking about Washington, DC that is the capital of the United States. DC has no capital because it is the capital.
