What is Section 3? |
| Your zip code says 20815, but in fact, within that zip code there are
several "sections" of Chevy Chase, all of which refer to the original
subdivisions or taxing districts formed the early part of this
century. Our boundaries are Taylor Street on the north including four
which dead-end midway between Taylor and Thornapple Streets, Bradley
Lane (north side only) on the South, Connecticut Ave. (east side
only) on the West and Brookville Rd. (west side only). |
 |
There are 278 homes in Section 3,
one ambassador's residence (the Nigerian Ambassador lives on
Connecticut Ave.) and one church--the Chevy Chase United Methodist
Church. A map of the Section is on the back of the neighborhood
directory.
We were originally chartered on April 4, 1916 but
became an incorporated town on June 20, 1982. Prior to that, we were
a special taxing district of Montgomery County and we take our name
from that original designation, as does Section 5 to our north. |
