A Brief History of Hyattsville, Maryland

The city was named for its founder, Christopher Clark Hyatt, who purchased his first parcel of land in the area in March 1845. Hyatt thought the proximity to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks and the telegraph lines made the area a good site for a town, and the surrounding farmlands were soon subdivided into housing lots. By 1859, the name Hyattsville was being used for the settlement.

Nowadays, as a community literally Inside the Beltway, Hyattsville still enjoys easy access to Washington and Baltimore via the West Hyattsville and Prince George's Plaza stops on the Metro subway system's Green Line or via MARC commuter rail trains on the Camden Line in the neighboring town of Riverdale Park.

Hyattsville was incorporated by the Maryland state legislature on April 7, 1886, and the first meeting of the town commissioners was held on May 10 of that same year. In May 1900, Hyattsville changed forms of government to a mayor and common council system. On March 23, 1943, the town was officially declared a city by the Maryland General Assembly.

The historic district of the city is home to a number of Victorian houses built in the late 1880s and Sears bungalows and Arts & Crafts houses built between the wars (late 1910s and early 1940s).

In 1992, a portion of the city was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Hyattsville Historic District; the district was extended in late 2004.
