And for the last (or first) stop on the reimagined Orange line, it’s Terrapin Thicket! The city of New Carrollton wasn’t always populated by people, and for a time turtles ran the place. During Colonial times, people referred to the area as “Terrapin Thicket” because of the vast number of turtles that would go “cavorting in the marshy land.”
