It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington, and with roughly 35,000 people in just under two square miles, it is one of the densest neighborhoods in Washington. The Hill itself rises in the center of DC and extends eastward. The hill, which in 1790 was called Jenkins Hill or Jenkins Heights, was the site chosen by Pierre L'Enfant for the placement of the "Congress House," a site which L'Enfant characterized as a "pedestal waiting for a superstructure." In accordance with this plan, the Capitol was situated upon the crest of the hill facing the city. The neighborhood straddles two quadrants of the city, Southeast and Northeast. To the east of Capitol Hill lies the Anacostia River, to the north is the H Street corridor and to the south is the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and the Washington Navy Yard.
