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.

1821 · Financial Relief for Public Land

A United States law to provide financial relief for the purchasers of Public Lands. It permitted the earlier buyers, that couldn't pay completely for the land, to return the land back to the government. This granted them a credit towards the debt they had on land. Congress, also, extended credit to buyer for eight more years. Still while being in economic panic and the shortage of currency made by citizens, the government hoped that with the time extension, the economy would improve.

Name Meaning

English: habitational name from any of several places, for example in northwest London (formerly Middlesex), Somerset, Hertfordshire and Warwickshire. These are mostly named in Old English from Old English cing ‘king’ (genitive cinges) + burg ‘fortress’. The Warwicks placename derives from the Old English personal name Cyne (genitive Cynes) + Old English burg.
