Sechrist, Stephanie. Silver Spring, Maryland: Residential Development of a Washington Suburb, 1920 to 1955. M.A. Thesis, George Washington University, 1994.
Notes: Many suburban communities had origins in streetcar or railroad growth. Silver Spring, however, was a community whose growth was determined by the automobile. Sechrist identifies three development stages. Also, as a suburb of the District of Columbia, Silver Spring grew during periods of strife for other communities, i.e. during the Depression and World War II.
