After Illinois was cut off from Indiana Territory in 1809 Vincennes ceased to be central in relation to the area it served as a capital. Lawrenceburg, Vevay, Madison, Corydon, Salem, and Jeffersonville sought the honor. No action was taken while Harrison was Governor since he preferred Vincennes. In 1813, with John Gibson as acting Governor, the Assembly took up the matter. The House of Representatives favored Madison but the Council would not agree and Corydon was chosen in conference. The act which was dated March 11, 1813, was to be effective by May 1, 1813. \n\n\nIn 1820 the commissioners (Christopher Harrison) selected the site of Indianapolis.

Washington, D.C. is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the "District of Columbia", the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States. The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government, so for most practical purposes they are considered to be the same entity (this was not always the case, though, as Georgetown was a separate city within the District until 1871). However, although there is a municipal government and a mayor, as per Article I, Section VIII, of the United States Constitution, Congress has the sole authority over this federal district and thus the municipal government and mayor exist in the shadows of Congress. It is commonly known as the District, D.C., or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City.\n\nThe 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 mi² or about 100 km²) was returned, or "retroceded", to Virginia in 1847 and now is incorporated into Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. The 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.\n\nThe centers of all three branches of the U.S. federal government are in Washington, D.C., as well as the headquarters of most federal agencies. Washington also serves as the headquarters for the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Organization of American States, among other international (and national) institutions. All of this has made Washington the frequent focal point of massive political demonstrations and protests, particularly on the National Mall. Washington is also the site of numerous national landmarks, museums, and sports teams, and is a popular destination for tourists.\n\nThe population of the District of Columbia, as of 2003 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, is 563,384. The Greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area includes the District of Columbia and parts of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, with a population surpassing 4.7 million. If Washington, D.C., were considered a state, it would rank last in area behind Rhode Island, 50th in population ahead of Wyoming, and 36th in Gross State Product, ahead of 15 states, and its GSP per capita would be #1 by far compared to other states.

The original capital was Ashur, but Ashurnasirpal II, the son of Tukulti-Ninurta II, changed it to Calah.  Even later, King Sennacherib changed it yet again to Nineveh.  Nineveh remained the capital until 612 BC when The Medes and the Babylonians conquered it and put the final nail in the coffin of Assyria.

did you know that philidelphia was also the capital at one time?\n\nto answer your question, d.c. was formed in order to be the new capital. they didnt just move it to some city, it was created with the intent to become the new capital. it was done partly because the leaders at the time wanted to move the capital out of the north to a city between the northern states and southern states.
