Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
The dispute revolved around justice of the peace appointments awarded under the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801, in which Congress formally incorporated land ceded to the federal government by Virginia and Maryland into the District of Columbia, dividing the territory into two "cities": Alexandria, which operated under Virginia law; and Georgetown, which operated under Maryland law.
William Marbury was a resident of Georgetown. At least one of his co-plaintiffs, Dennis Ramsay, was a resident of Alexandria, so both sections of the District of Columbia were involved.
