Over time, this area took on the name “North Bethesda.” This name is now official in the sense that the Census Bureau recognizes North Bethesda as a “Census Designated Place.”  The 2010 Census reports the population of North Bethesda at 43,828, continuing the growth from years past:


  1. 2000:    38,610

  2. 1990:    29,656

  3. 1980:    22,671


North Bethesda is but a drop in the sea of Montgomery County.  The 2010 Census places the county at 971,777 people, up from 873,000 in 2000.  [USC]


 

NORTH BETHESDA


  1. -somewhere between Bethesda and Rockville


Luxmanor is part of Montgomery County, Maryland.  For many years, the mail was delivered by the Bethesda post office, and so the area was considered part of Bethesda.  Later, the mail began to be delivered by the Rockville post office, and so it acquired a Rockville address.  [S] 


But Luxmanor is not really in either Bethesda or Rockville.  It is somewhere between them, located (like many other neighborhoods) in a large, unincorporated part of the county.
