The Algonquian-speaking Piscataway lived along the Potomac, and the Nacotchtank had villages on the Anacostia River. After the Pennsylvania Mutiny of 1783 drove Congress out of Philadelphia, Congress began looking for a permanent capital under its own control. In the Compromise of 1790, Madison, Hamilton and Jefferson agreed that the federal government would take on the states' war debts in exchange for placing the capital in the South. Congress passed the Residence Act on July 9, 1790, and President Washington signed it on July 16 and chose the site, a 10-mile square of land given by Maryland and Virginia that took in Georgetown and Alexandria. In 1791 and 1792 Andrew Ellicott and the African American astronomer Benjamin Banneker surveyed the boundaries and set stones at every mile, many of which still stand. Slavery existed in the district from the start, enslaved people helped build the White House and the Capitol, and the city became an important slave market.
On September 9, 1791, the commissioners named the city for George Washington and the district Columbia. Congress first met there on November 17, 1800. On August 24, 1814, after the American defeat at Bladensburg, British troops burned the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Treasury and the White House. A storm forced them out after 24 hours. Alexandria, a major slave-trading center, asked to return to Virginia, partly out of fear that Congress would end slavery in the district. Virginia accepted it back in February 1846, and on July 9, 1846, Congress returned all the land Virginia had given. The Compromise of 1850 then outlawed the slave trade in the district.
