In 1791, shortly after the United States won its independence,
George Washington personally asked Pierre Charles L'Enfant--a young
French artisan turned American revolutionary soldier who gained
many friends among the Founding Fathers--to design the new nation's
capital. L'Enfant approached this task with unparalleled vigor and
passion; however, his imperious and unyielding nature also made him
many powerful enemies. After eleven months, Washington reluctantly
dismissed L'Enfant from the project. Subsequently, the plan for the
city was published under another name, and L'Enfant died long
before it was rightfully attributed to him.
