Washington DC

Georgetown predates the rest of the city of Washington, which was planned and constructed after the Revolution. Until the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal began operation in 1831, this was as far up the Potomac River that ships could navigate and the town became active during the Colonial period as a port, particularly for tobacco.
In 1871, the town became incorporated into the city of Washington and in the 20th century became increasingly fashionable. Today it is home to a number of foreign embassies, countless politicians, genteel historic houses, and boutiques and restaurants (particularly along M Street).
Georgetown University also mixes into the neighborhood a college vibe, and it is not unusual to see a grungy sports bar next to a high-end art gallery.
Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and numerous other landmarks, such as the Volta Bureau and the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in Washington. The embassies of Cameroon, France, Kosovo, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, Ukraine and Venezuela are located in Georgetown.
