Explore the history of Washington D.C.'s Hill East neighborhood.

Discover the rich history of DC’s Hill East! This neighborhood evolved from Pierre L'Enfant's grand vision into a quiet area near Capitol Hill, shaped by the Civil War, World War I, and the rise of the Navy Yard. Once considered a "backwater," Hill East has become a vibrant community full of local charm thanks to places like The Pretzel Bakery, a beloved neighborhood staple.
