Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Washington, D.C. was established as the capital of the United States in 1790, as part of the Compromise of 1790 between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. The city was founded on land donated by the states of Maryland and Virginia, and was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. In the early years of the city, Washington, D.C. was a small, swampy area with few inhabitants. However, with the construction of iconic landmarks such as the U.S. Capitol, the White House, and the Washington Monument, the city grew rapidly in importance and population. Throughout its history, Washington, D.C. has been the site of many significant events, including the burning of the White House by British troops during the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Today, Washington, D.C. is a vibrant city known for its political history, diverse culture, and beautiful architecture.
