Answer

How did the Battery Park neighborhood get its name?

ANSWER:

B: It was founded by two retired military officers who hoped the name would appeal to servicemen and veterans

Retired Maj. Henry Maddux and Gen. Richard Marshall founded Battery Park in Bethesda and divided their triangular piece of land into three sections with 200 lots and several strangely shaped streets. They advertised in military journals, and the name attracted numerous military personnel.
