| Once a thriving colonial port, Georgetown is now a prime example of an intact historical community. Centered on Wisconsin and M Sts., NW, the community is most renowned for shopping, dining and nightlife as well as the university that shares its name. Dumbarton House, Tudor Place Historic House and Garden, the C&O Canal with 180 miles of biking and hiking trails, Old Stone House and Dumbarton Oaks represent the area's history beyond the boutiques and bars. Incorporated in 1751, the town was not actually named for George Washington but in honor of King George II. |
