  • 3.1 Location of the NIH Bethesda Campus in the Region
    NIH Master Plan 2003 Update Chapter Three The Community Context of the Bethesda Campus Chapter 3 - Page 55 NIH Master Plan 2003 Update 3.1 Location of the NIH Bethesda Campus in the Region 3.1.1 General The NIH main campus is located in Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the largest jurisdictions in the Washington, D.C. region. As a result of expansion of the urbanized area, cross-commuting patterns, and other economic interrelationships, the federal government designated a broader Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA). A CMSA is a geographic entity defined by the Federal Office of Management and Budget for use by federal statistical agencies. An area becomes a CMSA if it meets the requirements to qualify as a metropolitan statistical area, has a population of 1,000,000 or more, if component parts are recognized as Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and if local opinion favors the designation. This CMSA encompasses both the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas, embracing an area of nearly 9,600 square miles circumscribed by a 75-mile radius around downtown Washington, D.C. It includes communities from the Pennsylvania border to Calvert and Charles Counties in southern Maryland and on southward in Virginia to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County (nearly to the edge of metropolitan Richmond). From Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the CMSA extends westward beyond the City of Hagerstown and Washington County in western Maryland to Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia. The area is expanding at a very rapid rate - with a 2000 Census population of 7,608,070 - with communities and employment spreading over an ever-widening geographic area.

  • A Brief History of Silver Spring
    A Brief History of Silver Spring In 1840, Francis Preston Blair, along with his daughter Elizabeth, discovered a "mica-flecked" spring near Washington D.C. (Mica is a type of mineral that flakes easily and is known for its glittery silver color.) He liked the location so much that he bought the surrounding land and created a summer home for his family which he called "Silver Spring." The city of Silver Spring, Maryland took its name from Blair's estate. Acorn Park, tucked away in an area of south Silver Spring away from the main downtown area, is believed to be the site of the original spring. Acorn Park in 1917– the acorn-shaped gazebo is visible at left Blair Family History Francis Preston Blair (April 12, 1791 – October 18, 1876) was an American journalist and politician. Francis Blair was father of Montgomery Blair, a member of President Lincoln's cabinet. Preston Blair’s daughter, Elizabeth Blair, married Samuel Phillips Lee, third cousin of future Confederate leader Robert E. Lee, and gave birth to a boy, Francis Preston Blair Lee. The child would eventually become the first popularly elected Senator in United States history. Silver Spring Grows The early 20th century set the pace for downtown Silver Spring's growth. E. Brooke Lee and his brother, Blair Lee I, founded the Lee Development Company, whose Colesville Road office building remains a downtown fixture. In the early 1900’s, Washington trolley service on Georgia Avenue (present-day Maryland Route 97) provided transportation through the city. The trolleys stopped running for a period of time, but were rebuilt again in 1948 with additional lanes for automobile traffic, opening the areas to the north of Silver Spring to suburban development.
