-Washington, District of Columbia – The capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District. Washington had an estimated population of 681,170 as of July 2016

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River. The District is therefore not a part of any state.
2. Washington had an estimated population of 693,972 as of July 2017. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is the principal city, has a population of over 6 million, the sixth-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country.
3. Before 1961, residents of Washington, D.C. couldn’t vote in presidential elections because of the Electoral College. The number of electoral votes each state gets depends on how many senators and members of the House of Representatives it has. Since D.C. isn’t a state, it has no representatives in Congress, so for years D.C. couldn’t take part in elections. The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution (passed in 1961) let D.C. have the number of electoral votes it would have if it were a state.
4. The Washington Monument used to be the tallest structure in the world. The Washington Monument is actually two different colors. The Washington National Monument Society ran out of funding during construction, so the project was put on hold. Eventually, the U.S. government took over 25 years later, but it used marble from a different quarry, which is why the bottom looks slightly different from the top.
5. If you’re in the White House and need to answer nature’s call, I’m sorry to report that you only have a choice of 35 different bathrooms. All but one president called the White House home: George Washington. He did lay the cornerstone in 1792, but died less than a year before completion, in 1799.
6. The Library of Congress (LOC) is the research library that officially serves the United States Congress and is the de facto national library of the United States. Its collections include research materials from all parts of the world and in more than 450 languages. It contains over 38 million books and other printed materials, 3.6 million recordings, 14 million photographs, 5.5 million maps, 8.1 million pieces of sheet music and 70 million manuscripts, 5711 incunables, which are books printed before 1501, and 122.810.430 special collections.
7. The Smithsonian Institution, established on August 10, 1846 for the increase and diffusion of knowledge, is a group of museums and research centers administered by the Government of the United States. The institution is named after its founding donor, British scientist James Smithson, who never actually set foot in the United States.
