Washington, D. С.

Washington, D. С. is the capital of the United States and the first carefully planned capital in the world. It is situated between Virginia and Mary-land on the Potomac River. The district is named after Columbus.

The city was planned by a French engineer Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant. This work was completed by Major Andrew Ellicott and Benjamin Banneker, a freeborn black man, who was an astronomer and mathematician.

Washington is one of the most beautiful and unusual cities in the USA. It has little industry. One reason Washington looks different from other cities is that no buildings in the city may be more than 40 meters tall. There are no skyscrapers because they would hide the city's monuments from view.

The federal government and tourism are the main­stays of the city's economy. Thousands of tourists visit Washington every day. People from all parts of the United States come to see their capital and the monuments to those who in past centuries struggled for the independence of their country.
