The Sheridan-Kalorama Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 1-D) formally welcomes you to its web site!  The Sheridan-Kalorama ANC is the elected body representing the residents of the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC.

The Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood, which hosts the bulk of the capital's embassies, is located in the northwest sector of the city with Rock Creek Park to its west and north and Connecticut and Florida Avenues to its east and south, respectively. When entering the historic city center from the north, it is Sheridan-Kalorama and the lion-adorned Taft Bridge spanning Rock Creek Park that greet visitors, politicians, foreign dignitaries, and residents alike with the grand vistas that make Washington and this neighborhood truly unique. In fact, "Kalorama" is from the Greek for "beautiful views."  The neighborhood obtained the "Sheridan" in its name from Sheridan Circle, which -- along with the magnificent Massachusetts Avenue (aka Embassy Row) -- flanks the western Rock Creek Park boundary.  Adjoining neighborhoods, which provide easy access to restaurants and other commercial activities include: Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Kalorama Triangle, the West End and Woodley Park.

These pages provide residents with information on the ANC, its Commissioners, ANC and neighborhood projects, city services, neighborhood associations, and ANC meeting dates, times, agenda, and venues.  Along with the main DCnet.com pages covering adjoining neighborhoods and commercial activities, these pages are intended to serve as a central community resource for the residents of Sheridan-Kalaroma.  Consequently, your comments are most welcome!
