Washington is not only the capital of the United States. It’s also an amazingly beautiful city. Every year millions of people visit Washington in order to see its famous sights. The city was named after the first President of the USA, George Washington. He was the person who found the area to build the capital. Washington spared some land from the states Maryland and Virginia and called the district Columbia. There is also a separate state in the USA, called Washington, but it’s situated in the far west of the country, whereas the capital-city is in the east. So people call the capital Washington D.C. (District of Columbia), not to confuse it with the state. Washington D.C. is divided into 4 districts: north-west, north-east, south-west, south-east. These districts have respectively numbered streets each. For example, First Street, Second Street etc. That way, it’s easy to define where you are.
