Washington, DC, formally known as the\u00a0District of Columbia\u00a0and also known as\u00a0DC or\u00a0Washington, is the\u00a0capital city\u00a0of the\u00a0United States of America. Founded after the\u00a0American Revolution\u00a0as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after\u00a0George Washington, the first\u00a0president of the United States\u00a0and a\u00a0founding father.<\/p>\n
As the seat of the\u00a0United States federal government\u00a0and several international organizations, Washington is an important\u00a0world political capital. Located on the\u00a0Potomac River\u00a0bordering\u00a0Maryland\u00a0and\u00a0Virginia, the city is one of the most visited cities in the United States, with more than 20\u00a0million\u00a0visitors\u00a0annually.<\/p>\n
National symbols such as the Capitol and the White House are accessible to visitors, along with dozens of other tourist attractions, which include world-class museums and important historical monuments.<\/p>\n
Though politics seem to be the singular focus,\u00a0Washington, DC, is actually home to a highly diverse and well-educated workforce. In fact, it ties with Houston and Dallas as the most diverse city with the highest percentage of residents with a bachelor\u2019s degree or beyond.<\/p>\n
