Rich History
The area has a history that dates back to colonial times, when its shoreline contained the landing site for the Awbrey ferry that transported travelers back and forth from Georgetown. The Aqueduct bridge was constructed between the 1830's to 1840's, connecting Rosslyn and Georgetown. However, just after the Civil War in the 1860's a community developed at the base of the bridge that was known for its lawlessness, gambling halls, saloons, brothels and pawnshops. It wasn't until the 1890's that the arrival of electric trolleys to the area inspired developers. The more unsavory elements of Rosslyn were ousted in the 20th century.
