District of Columbia-What does it mean
While looking up family members in Virginia, I found some that lived in Washington DC. The question was brought up, "What does Columbia mean in District of Columbia?" Was it named after a person, or a river or what? Could someone please let me know. What was the basis for the name? I do have several relatives from there and would like to know. Thanks Paul
