The District of Columbia—identical with the City of Washington—is the capital of the United States. It is located between Virginia and Maryland on the Potomac River. The district is named after Columbus

the country is spelled colombia. columbia is just the name and it is a part of our country just not a state because it is more convenient for the federal government to have its own land and not be apart of another state.
