A Historic Look At Riverdale Park …
Incorporated in 1920 and with just over 5,000 resid ents today, Riverdale Park is a small town just east of Washington, DC. Nestled between College Park, Hyattsville, and Edmonston, the town derived its name from the historic plantation, Riversdale, owned by descendents of Maryland's first family.
Extensive restoration throughout the town has made a trip through Riverdale Park into a delightful journey through Maryland history. Town Center, the town’s historic business district, has attractions including a replica of vintage B&O train station , “The Doll House,” an antique doll shop, a pet store, the S & J Restaurant, and The Calvert House restaurant.
Several homes in Riverdale Park are listed on Maryland Historical Trust's Register of Historic Places. There are also many fine examples of early 20th century Sears "Honor-Bilt Modern Homes."
A snapshot of historic events that took place in Riverdale Park include:
*In 1844, Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, transmitted the first successful message from the nation's capital to Riversdale Mansion in Riverdale Park:
*In 1856, Charles Benedict Calvert, a descendant of the0Afounding family of Maryland, donated the land that is now the University of Maryland.
*1880's Washington politicos visited Riversdale Mansion to drink from the healing mineral spring -- the first "health spa" in Prince George's County.
