The Douglas Civic Association takes its name from two separate housing developments of the same names. A map study of 20th century Arlington shows no urban development in the community in 1925. In 1928, the Douglas Park housing development appears on maps north and south of present day Walter Reed Drive . By 1938, the map shows Douglas Park and New Arlington running together. In 1938, Douglas Park temporarily takes on the spelling of ‘ Douglass Park .' Maps from 1938 show New Arlington expanded by Hunter's addition from 17th to l9th Streets South and from South Monroe Street on the east to South Quincy Street on the west. At that time, the entire New Arlington development is only lightly built. Douglass Park to the south is even more lightly populated from 17th Street South to a point above 22nd Street South and on the west from South Randolph Street and the Washington & Old Dominion Railway to the community of West Nauck on its east. Most of Douglass Park of that day is now included in the Nauck Civic Association. Other later tracts now included in our community between South Monroe Street and Walter Reed Drive are the Corbett tract, John Travers's addition, and subdivision of Joel Whitehead's estate, C.B. Munson's 3d addition, Munson's 2d addition, the A.E. Dye Plan, and the R.R. Dye Plan Subdivision. West of South Monroe Street were farms belonging to the Hall, Corbett, and Nicholson families north of 12th Street and south of Columbia Pike; and the Luther Wise addition and the farms of Edward Chewning and Lydia J. Warner South of 12th Street. The ‘ Douglass Park ' spelling appears on maps from 1938 to 1952 after which the original spelling is resumed. Currently, Douglas Park is a triangle shape that is bordered on the north by Columbia Pike, bordered on the southwest by South Four Mile Run Drive, and bordered on the southeast by South Walter Reed Drive.
