In Response To: Re: Common Law Marriage States (Joseph)

Joseph, my understanding is that Washington, D.C. is not a state, but has the peculiarity of being a 'federal district' for political purposes.

What does this mean to the residents of D.C., past and present? What was life like there for our ancestors? If you can provide any information, I would appreciate it.
