ANNUAL GUIDE TO THE COUNTY Welcome to The Gazette’s annual guide to Montgomery County. Do you need to know your elected ofﬁcials? Are you wondering who to call if your recycling isn’t picked up? Or maybe you’re just looking for a new church or a sports team for your child. This guide is designed to help you ﬁnd out about the services and resources that we in Montgomery County can take advantage of throughout the year. We’ve stuffed this guide with information about the county and each of the communities we cover. So if you’re living in Gaithersburg, Bethesda, Silver Spring or Rockville (to name just a few of our community editions), we have the lowdown on who’s who and what’s where. Even in communities where we do not have Gazettes, we’ve tried to include some

information. We’ve included lists of key institutions —from schools to libraries to parks to places of worship — all of which gives us an opportunity to explain how The Gazette works. We print newspapers each week for communities in Montgomery County and cover what’s happening in your county, your town, your city and sometimes your neighborhood. We tell you how your child’s sports team is doing, what schools are planning, where the movies are, how business is faring and about the celebrations important to your friends and neighbors — weddings, anniversaries and accomplishments. It’s easy to get a news item in The Gazette. Send it to us by mail, by email, by telephone, by fax or just drop it by our main ofﬁce in Gaithers-

burg. On page 6 are some key names and numbers to help you. And don’t forget to check our website at www. gazette.net.

NOTE TO READERS Because Montgomery is so large — there are about 1 million of us living here — we might have overlooked something you need. In some cases, because of space constraints, we have omitted some information. If you can’t ﬁnd certain information or see an error, send us an email at editor@ gazette.net or mail the information to Community Guide, 9030 Comprint Court, Gaithersburg, MD 20877.

A Message from Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger: I am extremely proud of the partnership that our Montgomery County Police Department has developed with our community members. Police service continues to evolve, with advances in technology, improved training and better equipment. But at its core, a police department is only as good as its people and the response they give and the trust that they build with the community they serve. We are gratified that crime in general has decreased in our County over the past several years, though be assured that we’ll continue to identify emerging crime trends in our neighborhoods and target appropriate resources towards them. On behalf of all the men and woman who have accepted the challenge of keeping our County safe - Thank you to the residents of Montgomery County for your support. -Chief Tom Manger

SILVER SPRING

The origin of the name “Silver Spring” comes from a spring discovered by Francis Preston Blair, an editor of the former Washington Globe newspaper. He and his daughter, Elizabeth, were horseback riding through a wooded area near what now is Georgia Avenue when Blair was thrown off his horse. When he found the horse, its reins were caught on a bush near a stream that Blair thought

looked silver. Blair liked the area so much that in 1842, he bought 1,000 acres surrounding the stream and built a mansion on it, calling it “Silver Spring.” Silver Spring’s redeveloped downtown area is gaining attention from around the Metro area, anchored by the world headquarters of Discovery Communications, Round House Theatre and the

WHEATON Wheaton was named by Richard T. Mitchell, who owned a tavern on the northeast corner of Georgia Avenue and University Boulevard, where the Wheaton Pharmacy stood for 50 years until 1996. The man who provided the community’s current name was Maj. Gen. Frank Wheaton, who was commanding ofﬁcer of the Army of Potomac and led the defense of Fort Stevens during the Civil War. From 1890 to 1910, while the population in the rest of Montgomery County declined or grew only slightly, Wheaton doubled in size. When Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin opened the “new” Georgia Avenue on Nov. 1, 1952, Wheaton expanded. With the construction of Wheaton Plaza in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Wheaton further enhanced its inﬂuence as a regional center of major importance in Montgomery County.

BURTONSVILLE From its beginning as a small farming community to its suburbanization in the mid-20th century, the history of the Burtonsville area is one of perpetual change, as its residents have continued to keep pace with the times. Founded by Isaac Burton and his wife, Keturah, in the 19th century and known as Burton’s, the area was home to a small group of farmers with a store and blacksmith shop. The area has changed throughout the years, becoming a bed-

TAKOMA PARK In the late 19th century, real estate developer Benjamin Franklin Gilbert wanted an alternative to the malaria-polluted air and dirty water of Washington, D.C. He looked north, purchasing 100 acres straddling the Maryland-Washington, D.C., border. Marketing what he called the “Sylvan Suburb,” Gilbert named his 1883 purchase Takoma, an Indian name meaning “high up, near heaven,”

later adding Park to emphasize the bucolic atmosphere. Takoma Park incorporated in 1890, and not long after, the Seventh-day Adventist Church moved its world headquarters to the town. In the coming decades, Adventist missionaries spread Takoma Park’s name around the world. The cultural upheaval of the 1960s brought another ﬂood of residents, as groups of artists and musicians
