Capitol Hill[2][3][4] (sometimes spelled Capital Hill,[5] formerly Army Hill under the United States Navy[6]) is a settlement on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands with a population of just over 1,000.[7] It has been the island group's capital since 1962. It lies on the cross-island road between Tanapag and San Vicente.
Capitol Hill was originally built in 1948 by the Central Intelligence Agency as a base involved in covert training of Nationalist Chinese guerrillas.[8]
