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.

Name Meaning

Probably an altered form of French Bourdillon: topographic name from a diminutive of Bourde ‘hut, smallholding, small farm’ (see Borde ), or a habitational name from (Le) Bourdillon, the name of several places in various parts of France, of the same etymology.

In some cases also Filipino: unexplained.

History: The name was brought to Warwick, RI, some time in or before 1668, probably via England, by Francis Budlong (died 1675).
