About Washington DC

Washington DC was founded by the constitution of the United States in 1790 with the purpose of being the nation’s capital. The city was named after George Washington, the president at the time, who was the one to choose the exact location of the city. It was built purposefully between two waterways; the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, which allowed for the town to expand and offered scenic areas to enjoy.

Unfortunately, much of the city was burnt to the ground during the War of 1812 where it slowly rebuilt but remained as a small town with few permanent residents until after the Civil War. Washington DC became a land known for freedom and acceptance after the liberation of slaves in 1862, which allowed for a significant African American population to develop.

Post-war this city expanded greatly and today it is a unique town with a rich cultural diversity. It has both historic and modern aspects that give you lots to see and do, making it a great place for a Washington DC gallery space.
