1781 · The First Constitution
Serving the newly created United States of America as the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation were an agreement among the 13 original states preserving the independence and sovereignty of the states. But with a limited central government, the Constitutional Convention came together to replace the Articles of Confederation with a more established Constitution and central government on where the states can be represented and voice their concerns and comments to build up the nation.

1800 · Movement to Washington D.C.
While the growth of the new nation was exponential, the United States didn’t have permanent location to house the Government. The First capital was temporary in New York City but by the second term of George Washington the Capital moved to Philadelphia for the following 10 years. Ultimately during the Presidency of John Adams, the Capital found a permanent home in the District of Columbia.
Name Meaning
English: habitational name chiefly from two places in Yorkshire called Lindley, one near Otley and another near Huddersfield. In other parts of England it may be from any of the places called Lindley in Leicestershire or Linley in Shropshire and Wiltshire. The Wiltshire, Shropshire and Huddersfield names derive from līn ‘flax’ + lēah ‘wood, glade’. The Otley and Leicestershire names derive from lind ‘lime’ + lēah ‘wood’. Possibly also a topographic name for someone residing near a lime-wood or a clearing where flax was grown.
German: topographic name from Lindle or Lindlein for someone living near a small linden (lime tree) stand.
