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 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. Some of them include diamonds and most likely other precious gems. It seems that District 1 parents name their children after the names of precious items and their attributes, which may be a reflection on their "glamorous" nature. Children in District 1 almost always seem to take pride in competing in the Games, and are among the group of tributes that band together to pick off the weak, called the Careers. On the victory tour, Katniss mentions that she feels awkward going into District 1, as she killed both of the district's tributes. Katniss also notes how their costumes are always the best and how ridiculous the district names are for their children. Some jobs include Perfumer, Furrier, Jeweler, Goldsmith and Winemaker.

Tributes
District 1's tributes tend to be Careers who have trained hard for the Games and they volunteer to compete as tributes. They are usually overconfident, like most of the Careers, but this does not matter for them, for they are so well trained that they can immediately chane their attitude if needed. There are only 5 known tributes.
 * Glimmer (Female tribute of the 74th Hunger Games. Died of tracker jacker stings from an attack started by Katniss)
 * Marvel (Male tribute of the 74th Hunger Games. Died due to an arrow shot into his neck by Katniss)
 * Cashmere (Female tribute of the 75th Hunger Games and Victor of the 71st Hunger Games. Johanna Mason killed her with an axe)
 * Gloss (Male tribute of the 75th Hunger Games and Victor of the 69th Hunger Games. Katniss killed him with an arrow.)
 * The District 1 female from the 50th Hunger Games. (Killed when her own axe ricocheted and split her skull.
