Welcome to the Website of Cabin John, Maryland
The name Cabin John is steeped in mystery and legends about lost lovers, ghosts, pirates, and buried treasure. Early land records cite Captain John’s Run, now Cabin John Creek. Did Captain John Smith’s journeys along the Potomac River in 1608 take him to the area later named perhaps after him? Cabin John, a community in Maryland, has historical significance. The Union Arch Bridge, also known as the Cabin John Bridge, is the longest single-span stone arch in the United States. It carries the aqueduct that gave Washington, D.C., its first public water. Never before published photos show the grandeur of the Cabin John Bridge Hotel, a resort destination in the 1890s and early 1900s. This book gives a glimpse of the past and the present of a community imbued with history, character and charm.
