Hotel History
NOMA: A Rich History and an Exciting Future
NOMA (North of
Massachusetts Avenue) is a vibrant area nestled just north of the
Nation's Capital Building. Being just two blocks from the Noma-Gallaudet
U (New York Ave) Metro Stop the Hyatt Place connects to all of
Washington DC's major attractions and its diverse neighborhoods and as
well as key locations in suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia.1850: Working-class Irish immigrants called this agrarian area "Swampoodle" because of the overflowing banks of Tiber Creek, which now runs beneath North Capitol Street
1862: The Government Printing Office printed 15,000 copies of the Emancipation Proclamation for the War Department, which were distributed to troops and diplomats worldwide.
1864: President Lincoln signed the charter of Gallaudet University, the only university in the world where all classes, programs and services are designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students.
1907: Grand opening of Union Station. Hundreds of rowhouses were razed to make way for construction. Chicago architect Daniel Burnham modeled the front archway after the classical Arch of Constantine in Rome.
1964: The Washington Coliseum (later known as the Uline Arena) hosted the first Beatles concert in North America; greats such as Bob Dylan and Chuck Brown later performed there.
1998: DC officials recognize the untapped potential four blocks from the Capitol and coin the moniker 'NoMa' for the area 'North of Massachusetts Avenue.'
2004: NoMa-Gallaudet University (formerly NY-FL Ave) Red Line Metro Station opened. The station was funded through a ground-breaking public/private partnership that raised $120 million.
2007: Redevelopment plans began to take shape for the area.
