Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States. On July 16, 1790, the Residence Act approved the creation of a capital district as permitted by the U.S. Constitution. The District is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. The city and the U.S. state of Washington, which is on the country's Pacific coast, were both named in honor of George Washington.
