Located in Washington, DC's Northwest quadrant, Georgetown provides a waterfront setting along the Potomac River and unmatched charms. Older than the District of Columbia itself, Georgetown was incorporated on the site of a Native American Nacotchtank village in 1751 and retained separate status from Washington, DC as its own municipality until 1871, when the U.S. Congress revoked Georgetown's city charter. Today, Georgetown's main streets for shopping and dining are Wisconsin Avenue and M Street and the neighborhood is world famous for being the location of Georgetown University's main campus.
