Why The USA Almost Had A Different Capital City


//science-technology.news-articles.net/content/2 .. the-usa-almost-had-a-different-capital-city.html

  • Finally, by 1800, the federal government moved to the District of Columbia, and Washington DC fulfilled its promise to become the capital city of the US. The White House was completed in November 1800 and has served as the residence of every US president since.

The article from IFLScience discusses how Washington D.C. was not the original choice for the capital of the United States. Initially, several cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore were considered due to their central locations and established infrastructure. However, political maneuvering and regional rivalries played significant roles in the decision. Southern states, wary of Northern dominance, pushed for a capital that would not favor one region over another. This led to the Residence Act of 1790, where a compromise was reached to place the capital along the Potomac River, in a newly created federal district, which would be separate from any state to symbolize national unity. This location was also influenced by George Washington's personal interest in the area, leading to the establishment of Washington D.C. as the capital, named after him, despite earlier considerations of other cities.
