No.  The District of Columbia was established so that the working seat of American governement would not reside in a specific state.  \n\nThat way when Iowa and Maryland get into a urination contest one of them can't say "Well I am home to the whole freakin' government!"

NO it is called The Federal District of Columbia, it has electoral representation, but not elected congressionally represented. It is the only District in USA asa classified like that. American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands[though not by now :)- ], Vanuatu, Wake Islands, Midway, Johnston ISlands and the Baker/Howell Islands are all other non-states in the Union, Palau and Micronesia are associatead Republllics by a Compact of Free Association. SO, DC isnt state nor territroy nor anything, it is its own enttity.

The District of Columbia, founded on July 16, 1790, is a federal district as specified by the United States Constitution. The U.S. Congress has ultimate authority over the District of Columbia, though it has delegated limited local rule to the municipal government. The land forming the original District came from the states of Virginia and Maryland. However, the area south of the Potomac River (39 square miles or about 100 km²) was returned, or "retroceded", to Virginia in 1847 and now is incorporated into Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. \n\nThe term "District of Columbia" is derived from an old poetic name for the United States, Columbia, which has fallen out of common use since the early 20th century.
