Fact text
- A single old tree, the Linden Oak, was so beloved that the Washington Metro was rerouted just to avoid cutting it down.
- North Bethesda's name is basically real-estate fiction: most of it uses a Rockville mailing address, and critics say realtors invented the name to borrow Bethesda's fancy reputation.
- The southern edge of North Bethesda was once the country estate of the Grosvenor family, whose lineage includes Alexander Graham Bell.
- Georgetown Preparatory School, the only Jesuit prep school in the U.S., calls North Bethesda home, and yes, even North Bethesda Middle School is technically located in Bethesda.
