"Streetcar Suburb"

Rosemont was originally developed as a “streetcar suburb,” along a trolley line thats served Washington, DC, with stops along Commonwealth Avenue at King Street, Rosemont Avenue, Walnut Street, and Braddock Road. The trolley service ended in 1932, but mass rail transit returned to the neighborhood in 1983 with the opening of the King Street and Braddock Road Metro stations.
