Capitol Hill is often referred to simply as "the Hill" because it is the location of the United States Capitol building, where Congress meets. The term reflects the area's prominence in American politics and governance, serving as a shorthand for the political establishment. Additionally, its geographic elevation contributes to the nickname, as "hill" typically denotes a raised area. Over time, the usage has become ingrained in political vernacular.
