Historical marker location:

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), District of Columbia

( Marker can be reached from Firth Sterling Avenue Southeast east of South Capitol Street Southeast, on the left when traveling east.)

The District was originally much larger: The District of Columbia originally included land from both Maryland and Virginia, but in 1846, the portion of the District that had been taken from Virginia was returned to the state.
