About Wheaton :
Wheaton is an unincorporated, urbanized area in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, north of Washington, D.C., northwest of Silver Spring. Wheaton takes its name from Frank Wheaton, a major-general in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Wheaton's boundaries are not officially defined. The United States Census Bureau has not chosen to make Wheaton itself into a Census-Designated Place, but instead combines it with Glenmont into a single Wheaton-Glenmont CDP, centered at 39В°3?N 77В°3?W, whose 2000 census population was 57,694. According to Rand McNally, the Greater Wheaton area (which extends beyond Wheaton-Glenmont CDP) had an estimated population of 134,800 in 2005. The United States Geological Survey, however, does consider Wheaton as a place whose center is at latitude 39В°2?23?N, 77В°3?20?W. The United States Postal Service treats Wheaton as part of the Silver Spring area, though Wheaton does have a separate ZIP Code, 20902.
Wheaton is home to the Wheaton Regional Park, which includes a nature center; riding stables; a picnic area with carousel and miniature train; an athletic complex with tennis bubble, ice rink, in-line skating rink, and ball fields; and Brookside Gardens, Montgomery County's award-winning 50-acre (200,000-m?) public display garden. Much of Wheaton was developed in the 1950s. In the 1960s its shopping center, Wheaton Plaza (now known as Westfield Wheaton), was the largest in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Once heavily Jewish, Wheaton now has many Hispanic residents.
It is served by the Red Line of the Washington Metro system. The Wheaton Metro station has the longest escalator in the Western Hemisphere.
