The Constitution provided for the establishment of a federal district not to exceed 10 miles square. Virginia and Maryland both ceded land at the mouth of the Anacostia River where it entered the Potomac River. The result was a 10-mile square with corner-to-corner axes running due north-south and due east-west. The boundaries were surveyed and monumented with 100 boundary stones at 1-mile intervals in 1792 by Samuel Ellicott, and most of those stones still exist. In 1846 congress retroceded the Virginia portion to Virginia, and the boundary line thus receded to the Potomac River.
