The Cleveland Park Historical Society (CPHS) is the neighborhood’s historic preservation and local history organization, working to maintain and enhance the character and strength of Cleveland Park as an historic, multifaceted, urban residential neighborhood.
The Cleveland Park neighborhood developed as a “streetcar suburb” of Washington from the 1890s and contains a remarkable variety of architecture as well as designed and natural landscapes from the 18th to 20th centuries. More about Cleveland Park’s history and links to other resources can be found here.
