North Bethesda

North Bethesda is very similar to that of its sister community to the south. There is evidence of a colonial presence and rural farming activity from the late 17^th to the late 18^th century. Like Bethesda and other outlying communities of Washington, D.C., North Bethesda grew in size and scope with the arrival of light rail at the turn of the 19^th century. The 1950s saw widespread development of planned, suburban communities.
