CultureThe city of Washington, DC covers all of the land of the District of Columbia, which is on the east side of the Potomac River and belongs to the US government. The District of Columbia was established by Congress in 1790 and contains many government buildings. The land was originally given by the states of Virginia and Maryland, though Virginia later took back its gift. People who live in the district were not allowed to vote for the US President until 1961.
