ULI Washington BID Happy Hour Series
Join us in Adams Morgan to learn about the Adams Morgan BID, network with fellow ULI Washington members, and learn more about our organization.
Adams Morgan is situated just outside the original city of Washington as planned by Charles Pierre L’Enfant. The area developed as an urban district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the city expanded, a process greatly facilitated by the construction of two streetcar lines on Columbia Road and 18th Street.
Since the 1970s, Adams Morgan has experienced an ongoing renaissance. Population and businesses have continued to increase. In 1975, there were only eight restaurants in the neighborhood in 1975; today there are more than 100. This continued growth and prosperity have made Adams Morgan and its commercial area on 18th Street and Columbia Road a vibrant nightspot and a desirable place to live.
