District 1

"District 1 makes the luxury goods that decorate and beautify our great Capitol. Its excellent taste and craftsmanship keep Capitol residents bewigged and bedazzled year-round."

- Description of District 1 from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide

District 1 is one of the wealthiest districts of Panem. Its primary industry is manufacturing luxury items for the Capitol and as a result, has a generally favorable relationship with the Capitol. These luxuries include diamonds and other precious gems, such as emeralds and sapphires. It seems that parents from District 1 name their children after precious items and their attributes, such as Glimmer and Marvel, which may be a reflection on their "glamorous" nature. Children in District 1 almost always seem to take pride in competing in the Hunger Games, and are among the group of tributes that band together to pick off the weaker contestants, known as Careers. On the Victory Tour, Katniss Everdeen mentioned that she felt uneasy going into District 1, as she killed both of the District's tributes in the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss also notes how their costumes in the chariot rides are always the best and how ridiculous the District names are for their children.
