where is washington dc at?

Answer 1

The same place to which your mind wandered during your Geography, Civics, and U.S. History classes, not to mention your English class. Don't end sentences in prepositions and pay attention in school. Obviously failing both of those...LOOK ON A MAP!

Answer 2

Washington DC is located in the USA, District of Columbia.

Washington, D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." is an abbreviation for the District of Columbia, the federal district coextensive with the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States.

The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government. For most practical purposes, they are considered to be the same entity, though this was not always the case. As late as 1871, when Georgetown ceased to be a separate city, there were multiple jurisdictions within the District. Although there is a municipal government and a mayor, Congress has the supreme authority over the city and district, which results in citizens having less self-governance than residents of the states. In addition to lacking full self-governance, the residents of the District also lack voting representation in Congress.

The centers of all three branches of the U.S. federal government are in the District. It also serves as the headquarters for the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, the Inter-American Development Bank, and other national and international institutions. Washington is the frequent location of large political demonstrations and protests, particularly on the National Mall. Furthermore, Washington is the site of numerous national landmarks, monuments and museums, and it is a popular destination for tourists.

It is commonly known as D.C., The District, or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City. To avoid confusion with the state of Washington, located in the Pacific Northwest, the city is often called simply D.C.. The population of the District of Columbia, as of 2005 United States Census Bureau estimates, is 582,049 persons. The great in-migration of professionals from all over the U.S. to the Washington, DC area over the past century makes meeting a native-born Washingtonian a rare occasion in some settings.

The Washington Metropolitan Area surpasses 5 million persons in population, and the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area surpasses 8 million. If Washington, D.C. were a state, it would rank last in area behind Rhode Island, 50th in population ahead of Wyoming, first in population density ahead of New Jersey, and 35th in Gross State Product.

Answer 3

Washington DC is technically Washington, District of Columbia, even if it isn't stated as as both Washington D.C. or D.C., because that's the only city contained in the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia isn't component of any state, even if it truly is a federal district that borders Maryland to the north, east and west and borders Virginia to the south. The White domicile, and maximum different federal authorities homes (except interior reach places of paintings), are positioned in Washington D.C.

Answer 4

Wow. You folks are ALL wrong! Washington DC is a diamond-shaped area, that's literally it's own distinct area.It's not in either Maryland or Virginia. It's right between Northern Virginia and Maryland. Anyone that lives there is annoyed at how expensive it is to live in the district because they're taxed to heck yet aren't represented in congress. You'll usually see 'No Taxation Without Representation' on their license plates. The residents are predominantly black and always elect a black mayor.
