Washington dc whats dc stand for?

District of Columbia

The federal capital was referred to as the City of Washington in the territory of Columbia around 1800. The area around the capital had been referred to as both a Federal District and a Federal Territory. In June 1871, the US Congress changed the form of Government for Washington and also combined the local governments of Georgetown, the City of Washington, and the County of Washington-the combination was called the "District of Columbia".
