Greenbelt History Unlike most towns that develop gradually over a long period of time, Greenbelt, Maryland, was the first of three "green towns" built from scratch by Rexford Guy Tugwell's Resettlement Administration as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Although many more green towns were planned, only two others were actually built, Greendale, Wisconsin, and Greenhills, Ohio. For historical overviews, visit the Greenbelt Museum or the History of Greenbelt pages by the City of Greenbelt. For fascinating details about Greenbelt's unique history, visit Virtual Greenbelt, a project under development by the University of Maryland in conjunction with the Greenbelt Museum. For a truly nostalgic experience, dig around in the project's photo box. The Library of Congress American Memory project also displays a treasure trove of Old Greenbelt photos. Finally, for a wealth of historical documents and information, visit the Tugwell Room of the Greenbelt Library.
