Additional Information Created just three years after the United States Constitution established the federal district that would become the nation's capital, this map offers a glimpse into the early vision of Washington, D.C.-a city destined to house some of the most significant institutions in the country, including The White House, the Smithsonian Museum, and Congress. These landmarks would grow in importance in the decades following the Revolutionary War, which ended in 1783 after eight years of conflict. The city was designed in 1791 by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who laid out the capital in a distinctive quadrant-based plan. Today, Washington, D.C., encompasses over 100 neighborhoods and remains one of the most influential regions on the East Coast, both politically and culturally. This map, with its distinct appearance and remarkable aesthetic, transports viewers back in time, offering a powerful connection between past and present. It illustrates the growth and evolution of a city that would eventually become the seventh-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Washington, D.C., has also served as the backdrop for historic political movements, including the Civil Rights Movement, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, and the anti-Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, led by influential activists. This map stands as one of the earliest cartographic records of the United States capital, documenting its initial design before it was burned by British forces during the War of 1812. It is not only a historical artifact but also a tribute to the enduring legacy of a city that continues to shape the nation's history.
