The Washington Navy Yard (WNY) is the former shipyard and ordnance plant of the United States Navy in Southeast Washington, D.C. It is the oldest shore establishment of the U.S. Navy.
The history of the yard can be divided into its military history and cultural and scientific history.
Military
The land was purchased under an Act of Congress on July 23, 1799. The Washington Navy Yard was established on October 2, 1799, the date the property was transferred to the Navy. It is the oldest shore establishment of the U.S. Navy. The Yard was built under the direction of Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, under the supervision of the Yard's first commandant, CommodoreThomas Tingey, who served in that capacity for 29 years.
Navy Yard–Ballpark uses the island platform layout with two tracks. Track F1 is used by trains to Greenbelt while Branch Avenue-bound trains use track F2.
History
A station serving the Navy Yard area existed in original plans for Metro; however, the routing of the Green Line below proved controversial. In 1976, the original routing was rejected as too costly and disruptive. A new study proposed a more westerly path which would move the Anacostia station west, replace the Good Hope Road station with one at Congress Heights, and terminate at a station (named "Rosecroft" in plans and Metro maps) near Brinkley Avenue and Rosecroft Drive in Fort Washington instead of Branch Avenue in Suitland. During December 1977 public hearings, this route was criticized as disserving poorer landowners in the area, but Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) approved the western route in 1980, scheduled to open in 1986. Supporters of the Branch Avenue route then took the case to the U.S. District Court.

Navy Yard | DC Neighborhoods
During the early 1800sThomas Jefferson advocated for the Washington Navy Yard to be built in Southeast DC to defend the nation's capital from attack. From its inception, the neighborhood was home to a vibrant community of immigrants and African Americans. But by the 1980s, many residents had left as the area became a haven for drugs and crime. In recent years, the neighborhood has seen another dramatic change. The old Arthur Capper/Carrollsburg Housing Project was leveled and replaced with a mix of market rate housing, workforce homes, and affordable housing surrounding a brand new community center. For longtime residents, it's been a remarkable evolution, which has many excited about the present and future of their community -- and reflective about what has been lost.
