Washington, DC is a municipality and technically is not located in any state. However, the land that DC is built on used to be apart of Maryland. Virginia also gave land to be a part of DC, but Virginia took the land back in 1847; that land is now Arlington, Arlington County, and Alexandria, Virginia. Looking at a map of the Washington, DC area, you can see a diamond shape clearly, with the Washington, DC side forming most of the diamond and the rescinded Virginia land forming the rest.
