Did you know? Originally a farming community circa 1873 at Knowles Station, Kensington developed into a summer refuge for Washington, D.C., residents wishing to escape the capital’s humid summers. As years passed and its residents increasingly remained year round, Kensington evolved into a commuter suburb. The large, southernmost section originally mapped out by developer Brainard Warner remains largely unchanged since inception, and is a historically preserved zone. Indeed, the only major changes in the town’s basic layout have been the bridging over of the original railroad crossing in 1937, and the extension and widening of Connecticut Avenue in 1957.
