Twining Past & Present
Twining most likely took its name from Twining City, a development that was planned in the late 1800's, but never executed. That forgotten neighborhood, originally proposed on the other side of Pennsylvania Ave, was named for Major William Johnson Twining, who had served as Military Commissioner of DC around the same time. The neighborhood now recognized as Twining is a quiet, residential one that enjoys the presence of Pope Branch and the close proximity of Fort Dupont Park.
