See this post at the Ghosts of Washington website on the history behind the naming of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood.
Why Is It Named Bloomingdale?
Read about George Beale and Emily Truxton Beale.
Note that this Ghosts of Washington post doesn't --- ummm --- actually indicate where the name Bloomingdale originated -- but a cool mini-history post, nevertheless. Enjoy!
Bloomingdale estate. It's in the post.
