Foggy Bottom is a neighborhood of Northwest Washington DC, stretching west of the White House towards the Potomac River, north of the National Mall, east of Georgetown, south of the West End neighborhood, and west of Downtown Washington DC. The area was first settled by the German immigrant Jacob Funk in 1763, and the settlement was first called Hamburgh and later Funkstown. In 1768, Funk sold two lots of territory to German Lutheran and Presbyterian communities. By the 19th century, the neighborhood was a community of brewery, glass plant, and gas work laborers, and it came to be called "Foggy Bottom" for its industrial smoke. During the 1850s, more industry and residents came to the area. From 1860 to 1915, Foggy Bottom was predominantly Irish, German, and Black and working-class. In 1912, Foggy Bottom became home to George Washington University's campus. From 1961 to 1962, the brewery buildings were razed to make way for the Kennedy Center.
