Which U.S. city did Warren Buffett move to when his father was elected to Congress? Warren Buffett moved to Washington, D.C. in 1942, after his father, Howard Buffett, won election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

The move took Buffett from his hometown of Omaha into the nation’s capital during his early teenage years. Howard Buffett began serving in Congress in 1943 and ultimately represented Nebraska for four terms. Warren continued his schooling in Washington, attending Alice Deal Junior High School before graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School.

The Washington years became part of Buffett’s early business story. As a boy, he delivered newspapers for The Washington Post and experimented with small ventures, including selling chewing gum and operating pinball machines. These activities helped build the fascination with sales, cash flow, and reinvestment that later shaped his investing career. The city is sometimes confused with a temporary college destination, but this question refers to the family’s move after his father’s election.
