Commissioner Thomas Johnson


With the passage of the Residence Act in 1790, Congress stipulated that a “district of territory, not exceeding ten miles square,” was to be “located on the river Potomack” establishing the future site of the nation’s capital. In early 1791, President George Washington appointed three commissioners to survey and define the district: Thomas Johnson, Daniel Carroll, and David Stuart. Their task was to “provide suitable buildings for the accommodation of Congress, and of the President, and for the public offices of the government of the United States” before the first Monday in December 1800, but only the President’s House and the North Wing of the Capitol were completed on time.

While serving as commissioner, Johnson was also appointed to the Supreme Court by President Washington in 1791. Citing the rigors of circuit riding, Justice Johnson resigned from the Court after serving just over a year.
