The Transformation of Foggy Bottom

Explore the rich history and transformation of Washington DC's Foggy Bottom neighborhood. The area was originally home to several Native American settlements before Jacob Funk established the haven of Funkstow in 1765. The neighborhood earned the name Foggy Bottom during the industrial period from 1850 to 1940, due to a mix of river fog and industrial soot and is now home to the Kennedy Center.
