Takoma Park was founded and developed as a suburb by Benjamin F. Gilbert in 1883. Takoma Park was the first commuter suburb in the area and was originally located on approximately 100 acres of land around the B & O Railroad tracks. Gilbert, in planning his suburb, ignored jurisdictional lines, and the original town of Takoma Park straddles the line between Ward 4 in the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, Maryland. The part in DC is the neighborhood known as Takoma (sometimes Takoma Park). More history. Washington Post article on Takoma. Neighborhood Links Tradespersons Photos |
