Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Edmonston, MD

Edmonston is an incorporated town in Prince George's County, Maryland, about 2.5 miles from Washington, D.C.

Edmonston grew out of two subdivisions platted in 1903, East Hyattsville and Palestine.

The town was incorporated in 1924, and its residents chose the name Edmonston, after Edmonston Road and the Edmonston family that had owned much local land, to give the town an identity separate from Hyattsville.

An earlier settlement on the town's site was Mt. Rose, founded after the Civil War by Adam Francis Plummer, a formerly enslaved horticulturalist from the Riversdale Plantation who bought ten acres of land and reunited family members who had been sold away during slavery.

The diary Adam Plummer kept while enslaved is the only known diary written by an enslaved person, and it is now a featured exhibit at the Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum.

The 2020 census counted 1,617 residents in Edmonston, living in 467 households.

Edmonston had 481 housing units in 2020 within its 0.42 square miles.

Hispanic or Latino residents made up about 59 percent of Edmonston's population in the 2020 census.

Kinjiro Matsudaira, the grandson of a Japanese feudal lord, was elected mayor of Edmonston in 1927 and again in 1943, during World War II.

In November 2010, Edmonston dedicated its rebuilt Decatur Street as a pioneering "green street," with permeable pavement bike lanes, raingardens, LED streetlights, and elevated crosswalks that together capture nearly 100 percent of stormwater runoff.
