Greenbelt, Maryland

Greenbelt was the first "green town" built in 1936 from scratch as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. The entire community was completely mapped on paper before any construction work ever began. Although many more green towns were ever planned, only two others were ever built.

Greenbelt is a unique and special community with many wonderful sights to see. Greenbelt had a population of 23,068 in 2010.

    On park maps, this is "Fire Road".
  • Utility building, nonymous wrote 14 years ago:
    Was incorrectly listed as Army National Guard Recruiter
  • St. Hugh's Church and School, 438 (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    The school closed in 2010 (I think it might be more correct to say it merged with another school).
  • Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Tree , 438 (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    The tree died and was cut down about 2008. According to a Greenbelt News Review article at the time, this particular tree probably had nothing to do with Eleanor Roosevelt.
  • Greenbelt Community Center , Dr. Dave Endison (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    This is actually incorrect. The old Greenbelt Center Elementary school was the building directly adjacent to the Library.
