The location for the first capital of the United States, Philadelphia, was chosen by Congress in 1789. It was selected due to its central location among the original thirteen states and its status as a prominent city at the time. Additionally, the decision was influenced by the desire to foster a sense of unity among the states. The capital remained in Philadelphia until 1800, when it moved to Washington, D.C.
