WASHINGTON — The Mile 0 marker for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, located in Georgetown, marks the starting point of the historic 184.5-mile-long canal. Constructed in the early 19th century to facilitate transportation of goods between the nation's capital and the western frontier, the canal played a crucial role in the region's economic development.

The C&O Canal National Historical Park and the surrounding area are a popular spot for walking, cycling, and learning about the canal's scenic towpaths, and restored structures, and the canal's significance in American history.
