Washington, D.C., in March 1921 was a federal city of roughly 437,000 people, most of whom worked for the government or in the service trades that supported it. Warren G. Harding's inauguration on March 4 marked the return of the Republican Party to the White House after eight years of Democratic rule under Woodrow Wilson, and it came less than three years after the Armistice that ended the First World War. The ceremony at the Capitol and the procession along Pennsylvania Avenue drew large crowds from the city and surrounding towns. For residents, the day was both a civic ritual and a reminder of how much the national government had grown during the war.
