Gateway is the name of a small industrial and residential
U.S. National Arboretum
.
The neighborhood takes its name from the period when the
Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ran in place of present-day New York Avenue. The eastern edge of the District of Columbia was occupied by the military jurisdiction of Fort Lincoln
, but Gateway (immediately southwest of Fort Lincoln) was the first civilian area of the District through which trains passed.
Gateway is the site of the printing press facility for The Washington Times newspaper.
