Takoma, located in Maryland and Washington, D.C., derives its name from the Native American word "Tukoma," which means "near water." The name reflects the area's geography, particularly its proximity to the streams and natural features of the region. It was adopted in the late 19th century as the community developed, particularly with the arrival of the railroad. The name symbolizes the connection to the land and its historical significance to the Indigenous peoples.
