The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗In 1922, the Maryland state legislature established the area as a special taxing district called Section Five of the Village of Chevy Chase. State law prohibited "riotous conduct, profanity, [and] vulgar language" within its bounds.
On May 18, 1982, a referendum was held on whether to incorporate as a village. The vote was in favor of incorporation.
