Brookmont, Maryland
Brookmont is a census-designated place and unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 3,751. Brookmont is often considered part of neighboring Bethesda because it falls within Bethesda's 20816 zip code.
Before becoming a neighborhood, Brookmont's one mile loop was used as a velodrome for local bikers. What is now the neighborhood green was originally a part of the Glen Echo Railroad, connecting Glen Echo and Cabin John to Washington DC.
Prior to the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, racial covenants were used in Brookmont to exclude African Americans. A 1925 deed for a property owned by A. J. Watkins Realty Corporation said that "At no time shall the above described lot, or any part thereof, or any building thereon be sold, leased or transferred to, or occupied by any negro or person of negro descent. This provision, however, not to include occupancy by servants or any employee of owner or occupant of said lot." Brookmont celebrated its 100th anniversary in June 2025.
The Brookmont community also includes a church build in 1941 on Virginia Place at the corner of Broad Street. Originally a Baptist Church, the building now serves as a community space and day care.
As an unincorporated area, Brookmont's boundaries are not officially defined. Brookmont is, however, recognized by the United States Census Bureau as a census-designated place, and by the United States Geological Survey as a populated place located at 38°57′21″N 77°7′38″W / 38.95583°N 77.12722°W (38.955810, −77.127094).
