About Cabin John, Maryland
Cabin John is a community of 2,459 people in Montgomery County, on the Maryland side of the Potomac River just northwest of Washington, D.C. Land records from 1715 mention Captain John's Run, the stream now known as Cabin John Creek. Most people think the town's name grew out of "Captain John," but nobody has proved where it came from.
Between 1857 and 1864, builders raised the Union Arch Bridge over the creek. When it was finished, no single-span masonry arch in the world was longer, and it still holds that record in the United States. In the mid-1960s the Cabin John Parkway was built under the arch along the creek valley, and about half the creek's width was turned into roadway.
“the hotel was so lavish and became so important a destination for Washingtonians that The Washington Post reported about it regularly.”
- The Cabin John HotelIn 1873 Joseph and Rosa Bobinger started the Cabin John Hotel near the west end of the bridge, then added to it year after year. The capital's leading politicians came out to dine, and the Bobingers booked stars such as the pianist Ignace Paderewski and the bandleader John Philip Sousa. Fire destroyed the hotel in 1931. A small brick gas house that once made carbide gas for its lights is the only piece of the resort still standing.
- A Navy test basin next doorFrom 1936 to 1939 the Navy built the David Taylor Model Basin, a huge ship design test facility, in neighboring Carderock. It had first planned to put the basin in Cabin John. Instead, the 19.27-acre site it bought here from Mary Ellen Bobinger, the hotel owner's widow, was turned into housing for the basin's workers.
- 125 homes for Navy workersThe Navy's housing held 100 homes for white workers and 25 for Black workers. Cabin John Gardens went up on the old hotel grounds, and its residents owned the land together as a cooperative. No other single-family neighborhood in the county was set up that way. The Carver Road homes rented for $28 a month, and many families stayed for generations.
- Streetcars from 1897In 1897 a streetcar line linked Cabin John to Georgetown, and that service ran into the 1930s. A second line reached Bethesda from about 1900. The last streetcars stopped running around 1960.
- Canal locks and a famous islandLocks 8 through 12 of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal lie within Cabin John. The community is also the way in to Plummers Island in the Potomac, first owned by the Washington Biologists' Field Club and known as the most thoroughly studied island in North America.
