The land on which Washinton was to be built was surveyed in 1791 by Andrew Ellicott and Benjamin Banneker. The latter, a self-taught astronomer of African descent, used astronomical readings to fix the positions of the 40 boundary stones marking the perimeter of the 10 square mile site.
The obstacles that Benjamin Banneker faced are not that he went to a Quaker school, but that he had to live deal with a farm without help because his grandparents and parents died, his three sisters were married, living away from the farm, and wouldn't go back to the farm because they had their own family and worries to take care of.
Washington, D.C. is the official capital of the United States of America. The provision for its founding was written into the original Constitution, and its location was chosen by George Washington. It was planned by Andrew Ellicott with the help of several assistants.
