There is USA flags around it because George Washington was the 1st American president. He saw a need for a capital city to house the new nation's government.  In 1791, a site for the new city was chosen: it would be on the banks of Potomac River. The capital city was to be called (Washington,) after the president. The location of the city would be called " The District Of Columbia," after the explorer Christopher Columbus.

Three members of the new government's Continental Congress were chosen to oversee the construction. The congress man and L'Efant had many disagreements during the construction. Because of the disagreements L'Efant was fired in 1792. As a result, the plans for the capital city started to change. Despite the changes, the plans for the city still included a monument for President Washington.
