The state of Maryland ceded a portion of its land north of the Potomac River and the state of Virginia ceded a portion of its land south of the Potomac River to create District of Columbia. It would have been a perfect square (standing on a point) as called for in the US Constitution and as drawn by George Washington, but Virginia asked to have its part back and the federal government gave it back.
