Farragut Square, Public square in Golden Triangle, Washington D.C., United States
The square occupies a central position in downtown Washington D.C., bordered by K Street and I Street NW, with Connecticut Avenue passing through its center.
Pierre Charles L'Enfant included this square in his 1791 design plan for Washington D.C., establishing it as a fundamental element of the city's layout.
A bronze statue of Admiral David G. Farragut stands in the center, commemorating his leadership during the American Civil War with his famous command.
Two Metro stations serve the square: Farragut North on the Red Line and Farragut West on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines.
Food trucks gather around the square on weekdays, while the Army Navy Club maintains its presence on the southeast corner since its establishment.
