History

Chevy Chase was unincorporated farmland in the years before 1890, during which time Senator Francis G.

(See Washington streetcars.) The Chevy Chase Land Company was founded in 1890, and its eventual holdings of more than 1,700 acres would extend along the present-day Connecticut Avenue from Florida Avenue north to Jones Bridge Road.
