George Washington chose the location of the U.S. capital on the Potomac River to establish a neutral ground between the Northern and Southern states, fostering unity. The site was strategically positioned near key transportation routes and was seen as a compromise to satisfy both regions' interests. Additionally, the area was relatively undeveloped, allowing for the creation of a new city tailored to the needs of the federal government. Washington's selection aimed to symbolize the nation's independence and promote a sense of national identity.
