Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to the National Capital The corner-stone of the District of Columbia was laid April 15, 1791, at Hunter's Point, just south of Alex andria, Va. Washington City proper is about fourteen miles in circumference. It covers acres, and con tains about nine and a half square miles. It has over two hundred and fifty miles of streets, which are from eighty to one hundred and twenty feet wide, and sixty five miles of avenues, which are from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and sixty feet wide, and over eighty per cent. Of its streets and avenues are paved. They are also swept by machinery, so that they are kept as clean as the best sidewalk. More than shade trees line its thoroughfares. To show the great growth and improvements made in the city since 1800 it is only necessary to state that when the seat of Gov ernment was transferred from Philadelphia to Washing ton ia October, 1800, the whole force of clerks employed was only fifty-four, and all of the books and papers were placed in seven small boxes and five large ones, and they were all brought over in one packet sloop. Fish were hauled in seines where the Center Market now stands, on Pennsylvania avenue, between Seventh and Ninth streets, and Washington was then facetiously called The Wilderness City but it is now one of the best governed municipalities in the United States, as well as one of the grandest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
