Langdon, or Langdon Park, was originally a subdivision neighborhood in the Woodridge neighborhood until the original borders for Woodridge were extended (during the early 1900s) to include 18th St to Rhode Island Ave NE Northeast Washington, D.C..
Langdon, now (Woodridge) is home of the 9/11 Memorial Grove, a memorial at the intersection of 18th and Hamlin Streets NE.
Langdon Park's public swimming pool was chosen as the first place that Mayor Williams started the tradition of launching "DC's Summer Fun" by cannonball diving into a chosen pool.
