Georgetown is a historic neighborhood, commercial, and entertainment district located in northwest Washington, D.C., situated along the Potomac River. Founded in 1751 in the state of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years.
Georgetown was originally the site of the Indian village of Tahoga and was once part of Maryland, the town being founded three years after nearby Alexandria. Owned by George Beall and George Gordon to be most convenient for the new center which was to be named for George II, the reigning king.; Two hundred and eighty pounds were paid for the 60 acres of town site extending from the river to the N Street and from the site of Georgetown University to near 30th Street. Its original 80 lots were supplemented by six further additions, but not until 1789 was it formally incorporated. In 1783 Congress, weary of moving the National Capital about from one city to another, decided to fix on a permanent residence for the Capital. A location on the Delaware was selected and two weeks later it was decided that, in addition, a second National Capital should be formed at or near the lower falls of the Potomac at Georgetown.

Georgetown now, is known for its diversity and
entertainment Georgetown has made history
recently the Exorcist Steps, (Between 3600 M St and 3600 Prospect St NW). Made famous by the movie, the "Exorcist Steps" run between Prospect and M St just west of where the Key Bridge deposits people into D.C. In addition to grisly ends to men and devils, the steps are popular among Georgetown students looking for a serious workout during their daily jog along the Potomac. Georgetown has also become known as a center of modern interior design, with many stores and showrooms concentrated on the western edge of the neighborhood, especially between 34th and 33rd along M south to the canal. Even if you are not interested in design, some of those air conditioned stores have some very comfortable couches that you might stop in to "try out" on a hot day. There are a ton of small art galleries in Georgetown, which are 1) easy to miss, 2) sometimes just for tourists and the art-illiterate, and 3) fun to stop in, browse, and maybe pick up something special.
