Is é **Washington, D.C.** príomhchathair Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá. Tagann an t-ainm ón gcéad Uachtarán, George Washington, agus ciallaíonn "D.C." *District of Columbia* (Ceantar Cholumbia). Sa chathair seo atá rialtas na Stát Aontaithe. De bhrí nach stát atá ann, ní chuireann votálaithe an cheantair seanadóirí go Seanad Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá ar chor ar bith. Tá cónaí ar uachtarán raithe SAM ann sa Teach Bán, a dearadh ag James Hoban agus a tógadh ag deireadh na hochtú haoise déag.

Is cathair phleanáilte é Washington, D.C. Cuireadh Pierre Charles l'Enfant, an t-ailtire Francach, ag leagan amach príomhchathrach as an nua don phoblacht óg sa bhliain 1791, agus chruth sé plean Barócach, a bhunaigh sé ar roinnt cathracha san Eoraip. Cuireadh as an phost é an bhliain ina dhiaidh sin mar gheall ar a chuid "micreabhainisteoireachta"—duine doranna a bhí ann. Lean Andrew Ellicott agus Benjamin Banneker, Meiriceánaigh, den phleanáil agus thosaigh siad á cur i gcrích. Is ann atá an Smithsonian Institution, sraith iarsmalainne cáiliúla.
