History
of Greenbelt
Old Greenbelt
was settled in 1937 as a public cooperative community in the New Deal
Era. The concept was at the same time both eminently practical and idealistically
utopian: the federal government would foster an "ideal" self-sufficient
cooperative community that would also ease the pressing housing shortage
near the nation's capital. Construction of the new town would also create
jobs and thus help stimulate the national economic recovery following
the Great Depression.
Greenbelt,
which provided affordable housing for federal government workers, was
one of three "green" towns planned in 1935 by Rexford Guy Tugwell,
head of the United States Resettlement Administration, under authority
of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act. (The two other green towns
are Greendale, Wisconsin (near Milwaukee) and Greenhills, Ohio (near Cincinnati).
A fourth
green town, Roosevelt, New Jersey (originally called Homestead), was planned
but was not fully developed on the same large scale as Greenbelt. Eleanor
Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, helped Tugwell lay
out the town on a site that had formerly consisted largely of tobacco
fields. Eleanor Roosevelt also was heavily involved in the first cooperative
community designed by the federal government in the New Deal Era, Arthurdale,
West Virginia, which sought to better the lives of impoverished laborers
by enabling them to create a self-sufficient, and relatively prosperous,
cooperative community.
Cooperatives
in Greenbelt include the Greenbelt News Review, Greenbelt Consumers Coop
grocery store, the New Deal Cafe, and the cooperative forming the downtown
core of original housing, Greenbelt Homes Incorporated (GHI).
The architectural
planning of Greenbelt was innovative, but no less so than the social engineering
involved in this federal government project. Much
of the community is located within the Greenbelt Historic District; listed
on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
