Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

The Uyghur pronunciation of Wushi is "Wushi Turpan". It is paraphrased as 3 Turpan, if it refers to its rich land, the free translation is appropriate. However, according to the Western region Tongwen Chronicles: "Hui Wu Shi is Wu Chi, Gai Shan Shi is prominent, the old name of the city living on the mountain", which is consistent with the historical place names since the Song and Yuan dynasties. The "Turpan" in the latter part of Uyghur pronunciation may be related to the emigration from Turpan in the Qing Dynasty. First, Wushi is a Turkic language, meaning "the top of things", which gets its name from Wuchi Mountain in the territory. Wushi County is located in the western Aksu region of Xinjiang, the northwest margin of the Tarim Basin, the southern foot of the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and the upper reaches of the Toshkan River, with geographical coordinates ranging from 78 °23 °41 "to 80 °01 °09" east longitude and 40 °43 °08 "to 41 °51 °12" north latitude.
