There was a disease outbreak in Philadelphia (might have been small pox not sure) so they moved all the politicians out into the woods so they would not catch the disease. The wooded area ended up being Washington D.C.
* Fun Fact: The citizens of Washington D.C. are NOT allowed to vote in the Presidential Election.
