689:. I don't think it makes much sense for such a small territory to have two separate category schemes, especially when there was no consensus to rename the other pre-1871 categories to "District of Columbia".

The recent debate was built on the premise that all the events happened in
Washington. I have identified many more events not happening in Washington, including multiple foundings of neighborhoods, the founding of a cemetery and so
