White Oak Cleanup and Restoration

Welcome to White Oak, a diverse neighborhood and an unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland, which runs from Lockwood Drive starting from New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) towards Stewart Lane, crossing Columbia Pike (U.S. 29).

White Oak is a suburb of Washington, D.C. with a population of 16,347, with some 4,200 families in about 6,500 households, according to the 2020 census. Living in White Oak offers residents an urban feel and most residents rent their homes. There are many parks and green spaces here, as well as above-average public schools.

The town was known for its Naval Ordnance Laboratory, which was closed in 1994. The headquarters of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration now occupies the property, which has been renamed the Federal Research Center at White Oak.
The town has a total area of 3.78 square miles, all land. Many White Oak residents consider themselves to be residents of greater Silver Spring.
"Quaint Acres" is a subdivision of White Oak just north of modern Route 29 and west of New Hampshire Avenue. The subdivision was named after the house of Altus Lacy Quaintance, a state entomologist of Maryland who worked at the Maryland Agricultural College and later at the USDA. Quaint Acres was home to famed naturalist Rachel Carson, who wrote “Silent Spring” in 1962, the book that facilitated the ban of the DDT pesticide in the U.S. She built the ranch house at 11701 Berwick Road in 1956, and lived there until her death in 1964. The house is a National Historic Landmark. Quaint Acres was also the Washington area home to Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman elected to both the U.S. House and the Senate.
