Wedged among the thriving town of Hyattsville to its west, fledgling Riverdale to its north and east, and historic Bladensburg to its south, the land which was to become Edmonston could have taken on a different name, had not the founding fathers sought to assert their independent nature when choosing what to call their community when it incorporated in 1924.
In 1742, Capt. James Edmonston purchased 60 acres of land in the area which is now called Edmonston. It is believed that Capt. Edmonston was a resident of Bladensburg and a member of a prominent and wealthy family of that time. The Edmonstons also reportedly owned a farm in Beltsville. Being a religious family, they attended the Paint Branch Episcopal Church when they were in Beltsville and St. Matthew's Church in Seat Pleasant when they were in Bladensburg. The road they traveled between the two churches was later named Edmonston Road, after the family.
