Greenbelt, Maryland, was settled in 1937 as a planned, public cooperative community built by the federal government. Modeled after English garden cities of the 19th century, Greenbelt took its name from the belt of green forestland with which it was surrounded and from the belts of green between neighborhoods that offered easy contact with nature. Today, Greenbelt remains fairly green, even though it is located just off the typically congested Beltway.
