WHAT YOU'LL SEE!
Adams Morgan, located just two miles from the White House, is DC's resident funky neighborhood. The crossroads of 18th Street and Columbia Road, NW, are celebrated for their diversity and eccentricity. This area boasts the largest display of expressive art in the city. As you walk the streets of this lively district, you'll delight in discovering these colorful and evocative murals.
In addition, this bustling neighborhood of international sights, sounds, and aromas, offers a multi-cultural bazaar of one-of-a-kind shopping and dining opportunities, along with wonderful examples of late-19th- and early-20th-century rowhouses and apartment buildings. At night, Adams Morgan transforms into one of the city's hotspots for music, dancing, and barhopping.
HISTORY
The name Adams Morgan, once hyphenated, is derived from the names of two, formerly segregated, area elementary schools—the older, all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School (now defunct) and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School. Pursuant to the 1954 Bolling v. Sharpe Supreme Court ruling, District schools were desegregated in 1955. The Adams-Morgan Community Council, comprising both Adams and Morgan schools and the neighborhoods they served, was formed in 1958. The city drew boundaries of the neighborhood through three preexisting neighborhoods – Washington Heights, Lanier Heights, and Meridian Hill – naming the resulting area after both schools.
