  Burleith: About Burleith
In Burleith's early days, Georgetown was regarded as run-down and lower-class, and Burleith was the glamorous suburb (an early advertisement for Burleith homes omits Georgetown from its map altogether).
Burleith is also distinct from its larger neighbor to the north, Glover Park, and from the gated community to the west, Hillandale, both of which are much younger.
The name Burleith was taken from an estate built on the site of the Visitation Convent about 1716 by Henry Threkeld (this estate included most of the present Georgetown Visitation School and the present campus of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and was home to John Cox, Mayor of Georgetown from 1823—1845).

 Burleith, 1861
From his father Richard Cox inherited Burleith, 55 acres north of New Cut Road (now Reservoir Road), of which approximately 45 acres lay in Washington County, and about ten in Georgetown.
According to one local historian, he produced wine at Burleith, and kept eighteen hogs.
Richard Cox was also a colonel of the District of Columbia militia, and on March 4, 1861 his regiment was part of the president’s escort as Abraham Lincoln rode to his inauguration in an open carriage.
