History
In the 1890s, a real estate syndicate led by Francis G. Newlands bought more than 1,700 acres in upper Northwest D.C. and southern Montgomery County to create a Maryland streetcar suburb he dubbed Chevy Chase. In 1918, the subdivision called Section IV was incorporated as a municipality called the Town of Chevy Chase, creating a town government empowered to collect taxes and provide services.
