Bethesda is a census designated place in southern Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, just northwest of Washington, D.C. It takes its name from a local church, the Bethesda Meeting House (1820, rebuilt 1849), which in turn took its name from Jerusalem's Pool of Bethesda. (In Aramaic, beth hesda means "House of Mercy" and in Hebrew, "bait" "chesed" means "House of Kindness".) The National Institutes of Health main campus and the National Naval Medical Center are in Bethesda, as are a number of corporate and government headquarters.

Bethesda is one of the most affluent and highly educated communities in the country, placing first in Forbes list of America's most educated small towns and first on CNNMoney.com's list of top-earning American towns. In April 2009, Forbes ranked Bethesda second on its list of "America's Most Livable Cities." In October 2009, based on education, income, health, and fitness, Total Beauty ranked Bethesda first on its list of the U.S.'s "Top 10 Hottest-Guy Cities."

As an unincorporated area, Bethesda has no official boundaries. The United States Census Bureau defines a Census-Designated Place named Bethesda whose center is located at 38°59' North, 77°7' West. The United States Geological Survey has defined Bethesda as an area whose center is at , slightly different from the Census Bureau's definition.

According to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2000, the community had a total population of 55,277. Most of Bethesda's residents are in Maryland Legislative District 16.

After months of training, waking up at 3:45 am for practice and balancing a full course load at a brand new school, Katie blazed through the Olympic Trials and earned a spot on the USA Women's Swim Team. On August 3rd, Katie continued to exceed expectations and shock fans everywhere when she took home gold in the 800-meter freestyle. She set an American women's record for the event and is the second-youngest American woman to win an individual gold medal. After the excitement, she returned home to Bethesda, Maryland, where Amy K.

After the murder of Jayna Troxel Murray I put up this video in her honor. At the time I, like everyone else, thought that the two women involved had been assaulted by 2 unknown men. The video received thousands of views and caustic comments ( which I have removed due to the sensitive nature of this case). I was shocked that my community of Bethesda, Maryland had experienced such violence, this isn't New York City. As the investigation continued it was revealed that the surviving employee had murdered Ms Murray and my shock was lessened. However, after learning that 2 employees of the Apple Store heard the screaming and did not call the police, I was really upset. What happened to my Bethesda, a wonderful small town, a tight knit community? How could someone hear screaming and not call the police? If this happened to this young women, it could happen to me or to my friends and family? And so I decided to create Bethesda Buzz TV to flood the community with human interest stories and good news about Bethesda Maryland. My mission is to connect people so that there is a strong sense of belonging. As people connect with the community I believe that people will connect and care about each other so that this never happens again. www.youtube.com According to the store: "It is with warm and grateful hearts that we are announcing the re-opening of our newly <b>...</b>
