Georgetown Washington District of ColumbiaSection 1 of 5

Welcome to Georgetown, a neighborhood where the cobblestones under your feet tell a story much older than the United States capital itself. As you stand here in Ward Two of the District of Columbia, you are in a place that has maintained its unique identity for over two and a half centuries. While the rest of Washington was planned with grand, sweeping avenues, Georgetown grew organically as an independent port city, shaped by the ebb and flow of the Potomac River. Today, you are surrounded by a vibrant mix of high end boutiques and deep history, where political power at one end of the street meets academic excellence at the other. Take a moment to look at the narrow brick sidewalks and the towering oak trees; you are walking through a living museum that was officially designated as the first historic district in the nation capital.
