Chillum's Rich Historical Tapestry

The origin of Chillum dates back to the "Chillum Castle Manor," a 4,443-acre land patent established in 1763. This historical depth is reflected in landmarks like the Green Hill plantation, which played a pivotal role in the area's development and even in the life of Pierre L'Enfant, the famed designer of Washington, D.C.

Throughout the 20th century, Chillum evolved from a rural landscape into a thriving suburban community. Developments like Chillum Gardens and Oakdale Terrace in the 1930s, and later, Green Meadows and Brookdale Manor in the early 1940s, marked the transformation of Chillum into a modern residential area.
