Description
Situated in northwest Washington, D.C., Georgetown is a historic neighborhood and commercial district along the Potomac River. Construction of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal began in July 1828, to link Georgetown with Harper�s Ferry, Virginia. Georgetown became an important industrial and shipping center, with imports and exports being trans loaded between the canal and ocean-going ships. Today, Georgetown is highly preserved, with historic narrow alleyways and industrial complexes converted into apartments and offices.
