Edgemoor
Banker Walter Tuckerman, the father of Bethesda’s Edgemoor subdivision, bought a fallow Watkins farm in 1912 and had a subdivision of large lots laid out on his 183.5 acres. He called it Edgewood, but when the mail often ended up instead at Edgewood Arsenal near Baltimore, he changed the subdivision's name, adopting the “moor” from preexisting Moorland Lane.
