Official State Soil: Sunnyside
April 25th

Washington, D.C. once had large areas of wetland soils that were not suitable for building a sprawling capital city. The situation made D.C.'s Sunnyside soils all the more important because they occur in uplands and are well drained. They are considered to be prime farmland soil, but have served D.C. well as building sites.
