Tridelphia Lake hides a vanished town and its legacy
A forgotten village named Tridelphia lies buried beneath Tri delphia Lake, now a Washington Suburban Sanitary Reservoir. Once 350 residents strong, the town thrived with mills and a refrigerator patent linked to Jefferson era use. Floods in 1868 and later dam impoundment erased the community and its main street. The piece recounts origins, key figures, and the town’s fate within regional growth.
