About Takoma 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.
