Two neighborhoods, Old Anacostia and Capitol Hill, have been in existence since early in the 19th century.
To begin with, the ward is neatly sliced in two by the Anacostia River, separating the communities.
The northwestern section of the ward behind and around Union Station was called Swampoodle when Irish and Italian immigrants lived there, but virtually all evidence of that era was erased by the current canyon of modern office buildings.

 WMATA Green Line
Just to the east, the tunnel takes a 55-degree curve and plunges into a tunnel beneath the Anacostia River, which was built nearly 20 feet below the river bed utilizing a TBM (tunnel boring machine; the first job of its kind in the USA).
This former terminus of the Green line is here at Anacostia, on the other side of the Anacostia River, near the intersection of Howard Road SE and Shannon Place SE.
This station had to circumvent a number of difficulties associated with its location and construction - a couple of local roads, a freeway and the water table of the Anacostia River - a very complex planning and construction job was accomplished here.

 NOW with Bill Moyers. Society & Community - Endangered Species . US Corps History | PBS
We got the idea to call it "Endangered Species," because when we started this program, we started to bring back the bald eagle to Anacostia 'Cause that's it's natural habitat, its natural home.
But also, the people who we employ here, which are young, African-American or minority people living in Southeast and around Anacostia, it's like endangered species too, because most of our life expectancy is only 25 because of the environments we live in.
So, we're trying to bring us back too, bring us back to where we live and to be old people and not just getting killed or whatever, at a young age: 22, 23, 24, 25.
