No, it is bordered by Maryland. Originally land was taken from Maryland and Virginia to form a square piece of land called the District of Columbia (about 1790). Later the land which was taken from Virginia was given back to that state about 1850 (maybe a few years earlier). The city of Washington now occupies the entire district, this is why the place is called Washington, District of Comumbia (like saying Chicago, Illinois).

Washington DC is its own district. That means it is not part of any state.

Tecnicaly it's in Maryland but it's considered it's own district. It is confusing. I know.
