The U.S. Capitol was moved to Washington, D.C., following the Residence Act of 1790, which established the new federal capital along the Potomac River. The decision was influenced by a compromise between Northern and Southern states regarding the location of the capital and the assumption of state debts. Construction began in 1793, and the Capitol building was designed by architect William Thornton. Congress first convened in the new Capitol in 1800, marking the official relocation of the government.
