How Chevy Chase View Began
The story of Chevy Chase View started on April 18, 1910. A map, called a "plat," was officially recorded for the area. A real estate developer named Claude Livingstone had designed the community the year before. He then transferred the land to Harry E. Smith and John L. Whitmore.
Livingstone's original design for the streets and layout has mostly stayed the same. In 1924, the area became a "special tax district." This meant residents paid taxes to help fund local services.
Later, on August 3, 1993, the Montgomery County Council voted. They decided to let the people living there vote on whether to become an official town. Residents voted "yes" in a special election on September 21, 1993. The county council then made it official on October 28, 1993. This made Chevy Chase View a fully incorporated town.
