Welcome to the Newto News for December 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 officially established as the capital city of the United States in 1790. Named after the first President of the United States, George Washington, the city was chosen for its central location between the northern and southern states. The design of the city was laid out by French architect Pierre Charles L’Enfant, with wide avenues and grand monuments. Throughout its history, Washington, D.C. has played a significant role in shaping the nation. It was the site of the Civil War, with battles fought nearby and the city itself serving as a refuge for escaped slaves. In the 20th century, Washington became a hub for political activism and social change, with iconic leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. leading protests and marches in the city. Today, Washington, D.C. continues to be a vibrant and diverse city, home to important government institutions, museums, and cultural landmarks.
