When Rock Creek Park was established, only 3
roads, Klingle Road, Pierce Mill, and Military Road had through
connections on either side of the valley above the National Zoological
Park. These roads largely determined the development of the land
area into the 20th century.
All of the important roads built in the
park before the Civil Ward, including Klingle Road which was laid out in
1831, were built because people wished to connect with or to improve
access to major public roads leading to town centers in the District
of Columbia.
