==History==
In 1896, Harry M. Martin began buying land from the Chevy Chase Land Company and others and called his holdings "Martin's Additions to [[Chevy Chase, Maryland|Chevy Chase]]".<ref name="MD157">Linda M. Burrell et al., eds. ''Maryland's 157: The Incorporated Cities and Towns.'' Annapolis, MD: Maryland Municipal League, 2000. p. 208.</ref>

In 1916, the area was incorporated as the [[special-purpose district|special tax district]] of '''Martin's First, Second, Third and Fourth Additions to the Village of Chevy Chase'''.<ref name="MD157"/>

In February 1985, the residents voted in a referendum on whether to incorporate as a town.<ref name= incorp>Moncada, Carlos. "[https://www.proquest.com/docview/138716187/ Village May Become Town]". ''The Washington Post''. February 14, 1985. p. MD20.</ref> The vote was 198 to 15 in favor of incorporation.<ref name = incorp/> Following approval of Montgomery County and the U.S. state of Maryland, the special tax district was incorporated as a municipality called the Village of Martin's Additions on March 19, 1985.<ref name="MD157"/> The first elected village council members were Michael E. Zielinski, Edward C. Holland, Lucy Foa, Karen McManus, and Paul S. Weller.<ref name= incorp/>

Before the passage of the [[Fair Housing Act of 1968]], racial covenants were used in Martin's Additions to exclude African-Americans. For example, a 1905 deed for a property owned by Harry M. Martin in H.M. Martin's 3rd Addition says, "That the property hereby conveyed, either before or after improvements are made, cannot be rented, sold, leased or otherwise placed in possession of a colored man or one of the African race."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mcplanning.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0d26456118d34a14b2d27aec8d6f2b1a |title=H.
