An act of Congress was passed called the Residence act which named the area the federal district for the Capital. It is a district, and DC stands for District of Columbia. It is neither in Maryland or Virginia. According to whitehousehistory, "The Framers realized that whatever capital was settled on needed to be a Federal City, not one controlled by a state government. No state should have an advantage over the other states, and the federal government needed to be in charge of its own house. In Article I, Section 8, the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power 'to exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States.'
