River Road
River Road, historically also known as Graysville (and derisively by white residents as Crow Hill), is an historic African-American community established by freedpeople and their descendants along River Road in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, United States, following the American Civil War. Centered in what is now the Westbard area of Bethesda, the community sustained homes, farms, churches, a school, and fraternal institutions for roughly a century before it was displaced by suburban commercial and residential redevelopment in the 1950s and 1960s. Its principal surviving institution is Macedonia Baptist Church at 5119 River Road.
