George Washington selected the site because of its central location

Explanation:

  • Alexander Hamilton and the Northern States wanted the federal government to deal with the state's debts and reached an agreement with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who wanted a capital in the South.
  • George Washington chose the exact spot on the Potomac River and the rest is history.
