History
In the general time frame of the late 1880s to early 1920s, large tracts of land dominated the community, which at that time was known as "Aspen". One Edward Rabbitt owned some 350 acres at the site of the present-day Gate of Heaven Cemetery, as well as a 103-acre farm situated roughly at the present-day intersection of Georgia Avenue and Hewitt Avenue.
The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission records that the earliest burials took place in 1957.
