Dupont Circle

 is located in the northern part of the urban DC area, in the southeastern part of the Capital Wasteland. Before the War it was a traffic circle, neighborhood, and historic district in Northwest Washington, D.C. The traffic circle lies at the intersection of now-ruined Massachusetts Avenue NW, Connecticut Avenue NW, New Hampshire Avenue NW, P Street NW, and 19th Street NW.

Dupont Circle is located in the "Old City" of Washington, D.C. (the area planned by architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant), but remained largely undeveloped until after the American Civil War. Improvements made in the 1870s by a board of public works headed by Alexander "Boss" Shepherd transformed the area into a fashionable residential neighborhood. Some of Washington's wealthiest residents constructed houses in the neighborhood during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Up to 2077, the area has been revamped and modernized in a retro-futuristic aesthetic that defined American architecture in the 21st century.

Inhabitants
Mostly Raiders with a few Feral Ghouls as well. The area has been mined by the former and fortified.
