During the Civil War one of the 68 forts surrounding Washington was Fort Slocum. It was built by the Rhode Island Infantry and was named for S. Slocum who was killed in the First Battle of Bull Run. The Fort provided support for Fort Stevens to its west. The area remained farmland and undeveloped until the turn of the century. Manor Park was the largest subdivision built in Chillum.
