Northern DC Boundary Stone

The Northern DC Boundary Stone, located within the seawall of the Jones Point Lighthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, is a historical marker that dates back to the late 18th century. Originally installed in 1794, this stone has undergone significant changes over the years, including being concealed behind a seawall until its rediscovery in 1912.

This unique boundary stone is slightly different in shape from its counterparts, measuring approximately eleven by fourteen inches instead of the standard twelve by twelve. Although its inscriptions are largely illegible, remnants of the original markings can still be discerned, adding to the stone's historical intrigue and significance in the region's early territorial history.
