Dupont Circle

Gatebilde fra Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle, som egentlig er en rundkjøring i det nordvestre Washington, har blitt navnet på en av bydelene i USAs hovedstad Washington, DC. Store trafikkårer som Massachusetts Avenue, Connecticut Avenue og New Hampshire Avenue skjærer gjennom bydelen.

Rundkjøringen het opprinnelig Pacific Circle, og ble anlagt i 1871. I 1882 ble det besluttet oppsatt en statue (senere flyttet derfra) av admiral Samuel Francis du Pont fra den amerikanske borgerkrig der.

Henry Bacon og Daniel Chester French har utført fontenen fra 1920 som står der nå.

Området ble et fasjonabelt boligområde etter borgerkrigen.
