Glenmont is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States.

The United States Census Bureau had combined Glenmont with nearby Wheaton to create the census-designated place of Wheaton-Glenmont, from 2000 to 2010.

[3] Due to its unincorporated nature, the boundaries are difficult to precisely define, but the center of the community is located at the intersection of Randolph Road and Georgia Avenue (Maryland State Highway 97).

In June 1774, Allen was part of a now-famous meeting at Hungerford's Tavern in today's Rockville where those in attendance fiercely criticized Great Britain and decided they should stop trading with it.

Washington Bowie, nicknamed the merchant prince, later built a mansion at 3124 Q Street NW in Georgetown, which is today called the Bowie-Sevier House.

Briggs and his wife died after ten years of living in the Hermitage, and the property was bought by the Kauffman-Goldnamer Company of Washington.

The Hermitage was still standing in 1952, a three-story brick house, painted yellow, with a large front porch and a rear flagstone terrace.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the area contained a few houses and small farms lining the Washington–Brookeville Turnpike, as Georgia Avenue was then called.

[6] In 1898, Mary Hardy gave the name Glenmont to the area's post office at what is now Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road.

[7] Although the post office was closed in 1901, the name for the area stuck,[6] albeit occasionally misspelled as Glenmount.

[13] In 2002, the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) decided that the school was not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, because according to the MHT's judgment, the school was not an important example of post-World War II suburban development, Glenmont was not a significant part of Montgomery County's suburbanization history at the time, and the design of the building was fairly typical for the time.

[23] Glenmont Shopping Center is located on the northeast corner of Randolph Road and Georgia Avenue.

In its original construction, each store had a large plate glass display windows held in by tubular aluminum, known as an "open design."

By 1957, the shopping center included the bowling alley, a dry cleaner, a hardware store, and a restaurant.

[28] One of the largest obstacles in widespread renovation to the Glenmont Shopping Center is that it is actually divided into 15 different parcels of land that are owned by 12 different property owners.

[30] This underground station, which opened in 1998, is at the east end of the Red Line, and has two large parking garages.

From Glenmont, the Red Line heads south through downtown Silver Spring and to the District of Columbia before re-entering Montgomery County at Bethesda, traveling through Rockville, and ending at Shady Grove.

[32] The station was designed by architect Ted Englehardy as a large Colonial Revival wing-and-gable building.

[38] Glenmont Forest Neighbors Civic Association (GFNCA) was created in 2008 to serve the approximately 900 households in the community.

This award-winning organization has been able to improve the infrastructure in the community including sidewalks, curbs, street lighting, paving and other traffic and pedestrian safety measures.

Quality of life improvements include multiple Little Free Libraries and a new park at the intersection of Georgia and Randolph.

The houses featured full basements, gas heat, hot water, and an expandable attic level with a full-width dormer in the rear.

Glenmont's middle school students attend Argyle, Col. E. Brooke Lee, and A. Mario Loiederman.

Glenmont's elementary school students attend Georgian Forest, Weller Road, Glenallan, or Arcola.

[46] Glenmont Elementary School was originally constructed at the intersection of Randolph Road and Georgia Avenue in 1935.

[47] The area consists of modest rolling hills broken by small streams, all of them fed mainly by run-off from storm drainage, although the community contains at least one natural spring still producing aquifer-fed water.

Streams to the west of Glenmont generally reach the Potomac River by way of Rock Creek, with Georgia Avenue serving as a rough dividing line between the two drainage areas.

Saddlebrook Local Park, 14.86 acres (6.01 ha) in area, includes a rectangular field, playground, and a basketball court.

Glenmont Greenway Urban Park encompasses c. 3 acres (1.2 ha) of land, and includes an 8-foot (2.4-metre)-wide asphalt trail, and sitting areas.

The land is owned by WMATA, but operated and maintained by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M‐NCPPC) as parkland.
