Good Hope Origins
The town of Good Hope, DC was originally established in 1820, surrounding the site of a tavern. Though it also grew to host a post office and a few homes, it failed to come into its own for a long time. Like so much of Washington DC and the surrounding area, Good Hope saw dramatic changes in the late 1930's and 1940's. There was a massive population spike due to the influx of New Deal workers, Defense workers, and their families, and real estate developers were quick to respond. With the exception of a strip of woodland that runs along Good Hope's northern boundary, no lots have been left undeveloped.
