Foggy Bottom

Washington DC

Once called Funkstown (after a German immigrant), Foggy Bottom has an institutional and bureaucratic air to it. It's the home of the Department of State, the Kennedy Center, the Watergate complex and George Washington University. Foggy Bottom derived its name during the late 19th century: Smoke from the neighborhood factories and the swampy air of the low ground combined to produce a permanent fog along the waterfront.
