Message: [QUOTE="Gabjon, post: 3412546, member: 990"] Wikipedia's definitions they clearly define them as two different things. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delmarva_Peninsula[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_metropolitan_area[/URL] The National Capital Region portion of the Washington Metropolitan Area is also colloquially known by the acronym "DMV" which stands for the "District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia."[14] The area in the region that is surrounded by Interstate 495 referred to as being "Inside the Beltway". The city of Washington, which is at the center of the area, is referred to as "the District" because of its status as a federal district, which makes it not part of any state. The Virginian portion of the region is known as Northern Virginia and the Maryland portion of the region is sometimes called the Maryland-National Capital Region, by some local authorities but is not widely used by the general public.[15][16] [/QUOTE]
