Deanwood, Residential district in Northeast Washington, United States.
Deanwood extends over two square miles, featuring wooden frame houses, brick homes, and extensive tree coverage throughout the neighborhood.
Founded in 1888, Deanwood developed from a self-sufficient community into a notable African American settlement in Washington during the mid-20th century.
The National Training School for Women and Girls, established by Nannie Helen Burroughs in 1909, provided education and skills development for African American women.
The neighborhood connects to Washington through the Orange Line at Deanwood Metro station and multiple bus routes including X-2, X-9, and W-4.
From 1921 to 1940, Suburban Gardens at 50th and Hayes Streets operated as the only African American owned amusement park in the Washington area.
