Why is that necessary in the name?
Because it doesn't belong to usa its its own district like its own state

that sounds weird as hell
It was the deal they made when they decided to move the capital from New York. Which was a compromise they came up with that got individual states out of debt as the federal gov assumed it

ohh, super cool, exactly what i was looking for
