History Of Washington, DC.
The first Europeans arrived in the 17th century. After the American Civil War, the city of Washington expanded beyond its originally planned boundaries and became legally indistinguishable from the District of Columbia. Washington, D.C. remains a territory, not a state. Since 1974 it has been governed by a locally elected mayor and city council over which Congress retains the power of veto. The Washington metropolitan area covers nearly 4,000 square miles.
