North Chevy Chase Village was one of the earliest land grants in the Potomac area. The patent was awarded in 1698.

Clean Drinking Manor was named after the spring that remains bubbling to this very day. According to historical accounts, George Washington drank from these waters and wrote in his diary, “Tarried for a thankful rest at Clean Drinking’s hospitable hearth.” Early expansion started during the early 20th century when William H. Walker started developing the community and began selling lots to the people. Residents incorporated the community into a special tax district in 1924.
North Chevy Chase is made up of over 200 single-family residences, along with a few religious chapels and commercial establishments. Among the familiar sights are Howard Hughes Institute and North Chevy Chase Elementary School across Jones Bridge Road.

It is currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Montgomery County Plan for Historic Preservation.
The community also has a swimming pool and membership recreation association open to local residents. The Trolley Museum (Maryland Northwest Branch Park) is nearby.
