Tenleytown, DC
Country Village to City Neighborhood
Transportation Hub
Since the 1700s, Tenleytown has served as a transportation hub, a role that is undiminished today. Tenleytown was strategically located at an early crossroad for travel and trade to Maryland and Virginia. Wisconsin Avenue follows a natural watershed and was declared a publish turnpike in 1809, River Road was originally an Indian trail and predates white settlement. The electrified trolley (pictured here) provided service from Georgetown to the Maryland line. Today, the Tenleytown-AU Metro station and Metro buses continue to serve residents and visitors. |
