About Oxon Hill, Maryland:
Oxon Hill is part of the Oxon Hill-Glassmanor census-designated place (CDP) in southern Prince George's County. Oxon Hill is located immediately south of Washington, DC and east of Alexandria, Virginia. It is the home of the new 300-acre National Harbor development on the shore of the Potomac River.
Oxon Hill was named for the colonial 18th century manor home of Thomas Addison (which burned in 1895 but was replaced in 1929 by a large 49-room neo-Georgian-style home called Oxon Hill Manor, standing on a bluff over the Potomac River). The current Manor is now owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and is used for cultural activities as well as being rented for weddings and special events (it reopened in Oct. 2007 after repairs). Oxon is an abbreviation for the Latin Oxoniensis, meaning "of Oxford." The area now known as Oxon Hill reminded Addison of the area near Oxford, England. The Revolutionary patriot John Hanson died while visiting the first Manor, and may be buried there in an unmarked grave.
Today the community is bisected by the busy Capital Beltway (I-95/495) and is near the interstate Woodrow Wilson Bridge, whose wider replacement opened to traffic on December 15, 2008, bringing great relief to the bridge's 250-300,000 daily vehicles which formerly backed-up daily into Oxon Hill for decades. (Thousands of white-collar commuters working in Northern Virginia's booming economy find that housing is cheaper in Prince George's County, Maryland). Highway interchanges and ramps near the bridge were also re-aligned and re-configured.
Oxon Hill includes many garden apartment and townhouse communities along with single-family detached homes built mostly between the 1940s when suburban development began, through the early 1990s, including the incorporated town Forest Heights. In earlier decades, many residents were scientists from the adjacent U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Air Force personnel, or musicians in military bands, but very few are now, as today such professionals prefer newer and more upscale communities. Oxon Hill's two principal shopping centers ("Rivertowne" built about 1980 which includes a K-Mart and Home Depot, and "Eastover" built about 1955) attract neighborhood customers as well as shoppers from nearby Southeast Washington, D.C. Eastover, located at the D.C. state line, is a hub of many bus routes, some of them operating 24 hours a day, and has a Prince George's County Police station. The apartment communities closest to the D.C. line are informally called by their original name "Glassmanor" although rental companies have officially given them newer names. A rather unusual community feature is a nursing home operated for an ethnic Filipino population who are numerous in Oxon Hill and Fort Washington.
Rosecroft Raceway (since 1949, harness horse racing) and Henson Creek Golf Course are among Oxon Hill's recreational attractions, although the racing audience has declined (the Maryland slot machine referendum in November 2008 did not include Rosecroft in its list of possible sites to add slots). The Parks Commission's 1974 Henson Creek ice skating rink was enclosed and expanded to year-round use in 2005; across from it is a private club swimming pool. A double gymnasium and recreation and learning center are planned in the future adjacent to the rink and pool. The Henson Creek paved hiker-biker trail extends 5-1/2 miles along a stream. Oxon Cove Farm (formerly Oxon Hill Children's Farm) is a free of charge, educational facility operated daily for families by the National Park Service. Its future is uncertain because it is located in the shadow of the National Harbor. The farm also has a bicycle trail used by a few commuters to nearby government facilities. General public indoor and outdoor swimming pools are also on Allentown Road near Padgett's Corner.
Oxon Hill is also the site of the National Harbor, a major development on the Potomac River: a 7,300,000 square feet mixed-use community including 2,500 residential units, 4,000 hotel rooms, a convention center, 1 million square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment, and 500,000 square feet of class-"A" office space, along with the largest marina on the Potomac River and the largest hotel in the entire Washington area. The first phase of the development began opening in April 2008.
