How are the names of Washington D.C. streets running north to south organized?

Washington's streets from north to south, stretching away from the capitol, are numerically organized. Streets crossing diagonally are named after the states.

The streets running north and south are numbered, and the east-west streets are lettered beginning at the Capitol and extending in both directions. One thing to remember is that DC doesn't have a J Street.

Washington D.C.'s streets running north to south are organized numerically, starting from the U.S. Capitol. The system includes diagonally running avenues named after states, providing a logical layout for navigation. This organization was part of the original design by Pierre L'Enfant in the 18th century.
