The first block from that was called First. Washington, DC (my home town) is divided into four quadrants. North Capitol Street (which runs North from the US Capitol) divides the Northeast and Northwest quadrants, each of which begin with a First Street, one block East or West of North Capitol. -Dave Levenson -ABI Holmdel
