Was Washington D.C named after our first president, George Washington?
Hey guys! In school we are learning about how the federal government and George Washington moved to Washington D.C, and I was wondering, did they name Washington D.C after George? If not please tell me why they named it that... -Elfy P.S. I already know that D.C stands for District of Columbia.
