(The territory was later named the District of Columbia, within which the city of Washington was built.) The location for the new territory was centralized among the Eastern Seaboard states and was about 90 miles (145 km) inland from the Atlantic Ocean on land ceded by Maryland and Virginia.
EDIT: The original question for this answer was: âIs Washington, DC, a city or a state?â Iâm not sure why it was merged with this different question. Washington is a city inside the District of Columbia (DC). The District of Columbia is a federal district that is not a part of any state. It was originally thought that having the federal capital in a state would give that state too much power in the political process.
