The trail runs on the abandoned right-of-way of the Tennallytown and Rockville Railroad, also known as the Washington and Rockville trolley. Streetcars started running on the line in 1890 and ran until 1935 when it converted to buses.

Bridges over I-270 and I-495 opened in 2003. While this made a contiguous trail, upgrades and further construction are planned. Construction continued in 2005.
