Named for King George II, Georgetown was founded independently in 1751 and annexed into the city of Washington in 1871 by an act of Congress.
Georgetown's main strips of M St. NW and Wisconsin Ave. NW boast many elegant clothiers, restaurants, antique galleries, and other shops, while upper Georgetown is home to many elite members of the government and public policy communities, and the city aristocracy. It is also home to Dumbarton Oaks, the girls' division of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, Georgetown University, and other noted institutions.
Located at the western end of the District, Georgetown is on the Potomac waterfront with Rock Creek Park to the east and the neighborhoods of Foxhall to the northwest and Woodley Park to the northeast.
