About Takoma Takoma Park was founded and developed as a suburb by Benjamin F. Gilbert in 1883. It was the first commuter suburb in the area and was located on approximately 100 acres of land around the B & O Railroad tracks. Gilbert ignored jurisdictional lines, and the original town of Takoma Park straddled the line between Ward 4 in the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, Maryland. The part in DC is the neighborhood known as Takoma (or Takoma Park), much of which is an Historic District. More history.
