Did you know that Washington, D.C. was meant to be shaped like a diamond, George Washington picked out the location for the city, spanning parts of Maryland and Virginia, but slavery caused the Virginia side to leave the District and return to its home State, giving D.C. its strange shape.

I learned this in D.C. history back in Jr. High school. I wonder if the kids in D.C. now are given the DC history course. It gets very interesting.

Yep, it used to be 100 square miles which is the same as 10 square miles. It's now 68.30 give or take. Most people think that it's still 10 square miles, not realizing that's the old mileage for the original borders. This eould be a pretty big city if the VA portion was still part of D.C.. That would be Alexandria, Arlington, Rosslyn, and a lot of Fairfax County all the way to West Falls Church, which is where the West diamond tip originally ended! A lot of the boundry stones are still on the VA side, but since there was no road that made the western border within the portions that bordered VA, those stones are predominately in people's backyards, etc. Only on the portions that borders MD, are there roads that makes up the border. Most of those boundary stones are still in place as well. If there were roads that made up the border line with VA, the northwestern border would have had to be Northern ave including what is presently Western ave., which borders MD, and the Southwestern border would have had to be Western ave. I never understood why they named that northwest border with MD, Western ave. Its never made any sense. It's nothing surprising, though. A lot doesn't make any sense in this city!

Fun fact: The district can expand back to the original boundaries anytime they want given they are the capital of the nation. (And it can only be at most 100 square miles)

Thatβs not the reason the land was retroceded back to VA. Really bad history.

this is also why people in 'Northern Virginia' say they're from DC instead of Virginia. Don't want to associate with the southerners.
