It's not clear whether you are referring to the continent - specified by referring to it as North America as opposed to South America - or the nation more accurately known as the United States of America. "America" on it's own is a colloaquial term for that country.
The capital city of the United States is Washington D.C. (District of Columbia), and has been since July 16th 1790 when the US Constitution allowed for the creation of a capital city. The area formerly known as the District of Columbia was chosen for that purpose, where a city was formed in 1791 and named after George Washington - the first president of a united states (though not the first president in the country's history).
The area is not consituent of any US state and is therefore directly overseen by federal government.
