President John Adams permanently establishes Washington D.C. as US capital in historic decision.

President John Adams signed the Act specifying that the next session of Congress would convene in the City of Washington in the District of Columbia, establishing it as the permanent seat of the United States government. This decision followed the Residence Act that selected the location along the Potomac River. The move marked a significant shift from the temporary capitals, Philadelphia and New York City, formalizing Washington D.C. as the epicenter of American politics. The change facilitated better representation from all states and symbolized a new era in federal governance. #JohnAdams #WashingtonDC #USCongress #AmericanHistory #Politics #MoofLife
