Geography

 
Even an abbreviated designation of Chesapeake Ohio canal "C&O Canal" is known.

In Georgetown, in the south, in the east, in the north, in the Glover park and the west border it in Georgetown University in a lock creek in the Potomac particularly the area of the Western neighborhood is located in the precipice looking around the Potomac. Therefore there are many slightly rapid slopes as it links the south to the north. The famous stairs called "exorcist steps" connecting M street and the プロスペクト street become in particular the steep grade by the slightly elevated topography of the outskirts.

Most important just what is M street and Wisconsin avenue commercially in Georgetown, and the high quality fashion shop forming a line here gathers a tourist and shoppers in great numbers through the year. In addition, the growth of the K street facing the bank of a river is remarkable, and a bar and the restaurant which I call for outdoor form and got are spots of popularity though they watch a game of a boat race. Historical Chesapeake Ohio canal flows between M, street and the K street, and tour boats navigate it regularly today, and there are many people who jog on the path contacting with the both sides, and take a walk.

Main campus and France, Mongolia, Thailand of Georgetown University, an Ukrainian embassy are in Georgetown. For other tourist attractions,

I include などが.

History

 
The oldest building which exists in old stone house Washington D.C. It is one of the well-known tourist attractions.

Georgetown was built in 1696 by a European. It was recognized formally for the first time as a city in 1751 said partly of the British colony of the Maryland district (early Frederick, later Montgomery county), and it was in a part of 13 colonies afterwards. It was located in the fall line that there was in a coastal plain and the boundary with the old mountainous district, and there was it at the most secluded point when the ship of the open sea navigation went up in the Potomac. Because such a location was suitable for the port, I prospered and became the important way station that transported the freight such as cigarettes from a ship of the Potomac to the ship of the Chesapeake Ohio canal.

Georgetown is a hometown of the Francis Scot key. When British troops attacked Washington D.C., in the case of U.S. and British war, the William beans doctor who was the relative of the key was restricted by the backward military unit. When the British troops retreated, they took beans doctor to the British fleet close to Baltimore as a captive. When the key which took a turn for a fleet for the release to Dr. beans was detained, and the battleship of British troops attacked McHenry fort, I saw a national flag of the United States of America which stood in the fort and hit on the lyrics of the national anthem of the United States of America.

Origin of the name

George ベオル and George Gordon established Georgetown as "town of George" in the Maryland Frederick county (I divide it later to the Montgomery county) in 1751. There is the opinion which took the name of two founders while there is the opinion that it was named as for the name of this city for the purpose of praising George II because there was the coincidence that the name of both founders having been same George and the name of the British King at the time were George. [1]

Merger with Washington D.C.

 
The sign of the コンデュイット-type tram car attached to O, a street road in the 1890s remains.

With founded Washington county and Alexandria county (now Virginia Arlington county), it was independence municipal administration of federation District of Columbia newly, and, after American War of Independence, in Georgetown, it was also in "District of Columbia Georgetown City" Washington City, Alexandria City.

In 1862, Washington Georgetown railroad company laid a carriage rail line along M street of Georgetown and the Pennsylvania avenue in the Washington city. This became the big factor to lead two cities to the unification.

It was not merged with Washington city formally until 1871, and Georgetown remained another city nominally again until 1895. In the case of merger, I added the name of the street of Georgetown and a name as I was used on the street in the Washington city and was changed the name.

I it later

Many African candies re-Kan moved to Georgetown by the Civil War, and I made community, but a flood in 1890 and the expansion of the railroad put an end to the prosperity of the Chesapeake Ohio canal, and poor slums increased in Georgetown. However, as a result, many old houses will be stored in a relatively good state.

The riverfront kept the industrial characteristic until the early 20th century. Therefore Georgetown became the base of a wood factory and a cement factory, the meat factory which produced it, and the chimney of the incinerator soared. The white Hearst freeway which is the elevated high speed way of the K street upper part is built to detour, and to come in the Washington city through a key bridge of Georgetown when a car goes to the inner city in 1949.

It is a high-quality house

 
The store named the ream is full of shoppers day after day along the 28th street road.

Georgetown was the only city to carry a central role of a fashion, the culture on at first in District of Columbia formed newly. However, the social center of the city moved to the east side lined with the high quality house group which represented the booming times when I had begun to increase along the house of the style and Massachusetts avenue in the new Victoria morning when I appeared around paths of cyclic intersection in the city across a lock creek as Washington city developed. The people who lived in the neighborhood in the early 20th century have been already over the good old heyday while many "old schools" remained behind at Georgetown. Several people concerned under the United States of America 32nd charges President Franklin Roosevelt Administration with government moved to the neighboring areas, and, during the 1930s when becoming it had begun to go ahead through the high-quality house, neighborhood inhabitants have begun to regain glory past again. In the about 1950s, the crowd of residents came in new postwar period. Because such people who had begun to live newly had the origin of the elite, and there was culture, I held strong interest in life and the figure which were important historically of the people who lived in the neighborhood. Georgetown citizen association was almost formed with this for the same period. When United States 35th charges President John F. Kennedy which lived in Georgetown was picked by the President, the social nature of the local whole area of upper reaches reached the top. When I acted as a Diet member (member of the Upper House) in the 1950s, President Kennedy lived in Georgetown. Meanwhile, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis of the wife hosted the performed society party and many party sponsors who lived in others Georgetown invited a politics elite at a club and the hotel of the center or a place away from the 16th northern street and did it. In addition, President Kennedy held inauguration in a town house of oneself in 3,307N, the street in January, 1961. Thereafter Georgetown established the wealth of the United States of America metropolitan area and the position as the leading center of the dignity.

Present

Many politics, media relations, people leading the financial world live in this area. Current well-known people include the names such as member of the Upper House John Kelly of the Massachusetts election, Benjamin C Bradley of the previous Washington Post editor, the 64th Secretary of State United States of America マデレーン Albright, aide Clinton Administration George ステファノプロス, Representative Montana Max Baucus. Becoming it prospers in former Georgetown, and land development of the supremeness and a high-quality house will revivify the industrial riverbank fish market which declined again. In one of the things to keep an old trace, it is saved as a historic spot, and there is the chimney of the waste incinerator complicated with at Ritz Carlton hotel built newly as of 2003. On the other hand, a demolition is suggested to the white Hearst freeway.

Traffic

A discussion to enlarge a tunnel under the Potomac to penetrate to expansion and the whole area of the iron wire under the ground has been performed, but Washington metro does not go to Georgetown directly now. Three subway ロズリン Station (I cross the key bridge from the Arlington river), フォギー bottom, GWU Station, Du Pont circle Station stations are the nearest station of the thing which is far from the Georgetown center approximately approximately 1 mile. In addition, I operate a subway bus and the circulation bus "DC circulator" to Georgetown. In addition, GUTS (Georgetown University shuttle bus) stops at a university-related place and subway Du Pont circle Station and ロズリン Station from the Lee Vee center in Georgetown University. It is available free if I have an identification of social position such as a student or the staff related to the university. [2]

Allied with the mass culture

 
Exorcist steps are near Georgetown University if they get nervous.

Many movies have been photographed in Georgetown, but it will be a horror film of the production, "an exorcist" until now for 1,973 years to be above all famous. There was the scene that threw the body to all 75 steps of sudden stairs where the actor who played the leading role tied the M street under プロスペクト street and the 36th street to at the climax of the movie. These stairs are named "exorcist steps" (exorcist stairs). For the movie that Georgetown was a stage, there were the masterpiece of the ブラット pack of the production, "Saint Elmo fire" elsewhere in 1984 representing Georgetown University, but part of the movie was photographed in Maryland University College Park school. In addition, subway "Georgetown Station" does not exist like statement above, but it "is cornered" a movie of the production in 1987, and the aerial station appears.
