Adams Morgan
Adams Morgan has been one of Washington’s most vibrant and changeable neighborhoods for more than a century. Known as Washington Heights before it was renamed in the 1950s as a symbol of racial integration, the neighborhood has seen waves of immigration, the birth of DC’s go-go scene, and a transformation from divided enclave to one of the city’s most cosmopolitan addresses.
