Greenbelt was the first "green town" built in 1936 from scratch as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. The entire community was completely mapped on paper before any construction work ever began. Although many more green towns were ever planned, only two others were ever built.

Greenbelt is a unique and special community with many wonderful sights to see. Greenbelt had a population of 23,068 in 2010.
