Garrett Park, Md.

In 1887, the Metropolitan Investment and Building Company laid out Garrett Park, naming it after Robert W. Garrett, president of the B. & O. Railroad. It was intended to be primarily residential, a short commuter train ride from Washington, D.C. More than one hundred years later, it remains residential, with several small commercial firms in the town-owned Penn Place, a post office where residents still pick up their mail, and a Town Hall built in 1897 as a chapel. In 1975, the town was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
