You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.175.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 September 2025. Your current IP address is 54.175.20.179.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Trinidad''' is a neighborhood located in Ward 5, in the [[Northeast (Washington, D.C.)|northeast quadrant]] of [[Washington, D.C.]], and is a largely residential area. Bounded by West Virginia Avenue NE, Florida Avenue NE, Mount Olivet Road NE, and Bladensburg Road NE

==Geography==
[[File:Truckhouse 13 DC fire.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A [[Truck House No. 13 (Washington, D.C.)|historic Trinidad firehouse]] on Florida Avenue, NE]]
Trinidad is to the east of [[West Virginia Avenue (Washington, D.C.)|West Virginia Avenue]], north of [[Florida Avenue (Washington, D.C.)|Florida Avenue]], and west of [[Bladensburg Road]].<ref name=realitycheckpoint>Schwartzman, Paul. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/07/AR2008070702377.html?hpid=artslot&sid=ST2008070800136&pos= Reality Checkpoint]. ''The Washington Post''. 2008-07-08. Page B01.</ref> To the north of Trinidad is the more industrial neighborhood of [[Ivy City]]. To the west is [[Gallaudet University]] and the [[Florida Market]] (D.C.'s wholesale food district, also called the Capital City Market or more recently Union Market). To the east lies [[Carver Langston]]. To the south of Trinidad is [[Old City/Near Northeast|Old City]], so named because it was part of [[Pierre L'Enfant]]'s original plan for the city, and generally referred to as either [[Old City/Near Northeast|Near Northeast]] or Capitol Hill North. Located immediately south of Trinidad is the H Street Corridor. The eastern portion of the H Street Corridor is sometimes referred to as the [[Atlas District]], part of a neighborhood branding campaign centered on the revitalized Atlas Theater.

==History==
The area got its name from 19th-century [[land speculator|speculator]] James Barry, who had once lived on the [[Caribbean]] island of [[Trinidad]].<ref>((cite news|last=Schwartzman|first=Paul|title=Reality Checkpoint|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/07/AR2008070702377.html?sid=ST2008070800136|access-date=5 November 2012|newspaper=Washington Post|date=July 8, 2008))</ref>  A street in the neighborhood bears the name of Trinidad Avenue NE.

The land passed to and from the Corcoran family, who used it as a country estate, to Columbian College, which later became [[George Washington University]], and then to the Washington Brick Machine Company. The brickworks intended to excavate clay from the land, but not needing all of the land, began selling off parcels, and, in the late 19th century, the first houses in southern Trinidad were built.

The [[American League Park]] was located at the corner of Florida Ave NE and Trinidad Avenue NE from 1901 to 1904. It was home to the [[History of the Washington Senators (1901–60)|Washington Senators]]<ref>Image 59 of Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from Washington, District of Columbia, District of Columbia - 1904</ref>

==Architecture==
The first two blocks north of Florida Avenue feature classic Victorian rowhouses similar to those in nearby [[Capitol Hill]]. Further north, many of the row houses are built in a flat porch-fronted style (similar to [[craftsman style]]) that gained popularity during the 1920s. Northern portions of Trinidad were developed later, some parts as late as the 1940s.((citation needed|date=August 2018))

==Education==
Crummel Elementary School is located in [[Ivy City]].

===Wheatley Education Campus===
Wheatley Education Campus is a public school that serves grades [[pre-kindergarten|PK]]-8. It is located at 1299 Neal Street NE.

===Center City PCS Trinidad Campus===
Center City PCS Trinidad is a public [[charter school]] that serves grades ((abbr|PK|pre-kindergarten))-8. It is located at 1217 West Virginia Ave, NE.  It was the Holy Name School.

===Joel Elias Spingarn Senior High School===
Joel Elias Spingarn Senior High School is located at 2500 Benning Road NE.

===Gallaudet University===
[[Gallaudet University]] is a university for the deaf and hard of hearing. It is located at 800 Florida Avenue NE.

===KIPP DC College Preparatory===

KIPP DC College Preparatory goes from 9th to 12th grade and is located at 1405 Brentwood Parkway NE.

==Transportation==

===Washington Metro===
Trinidad is served by the  [[NoMa – Gallaudet U|NoMa – Gallaudet University Metro station]] on the [[Red Line (Washington Metro)|Red Line]] of the [[Washington Metro]].

===Metrobus===
Trinidad is served by [[Metrobus (Washington, D.C.)|Metrobus]] routes [[Bladensburg Road–Anacostia Line|B2]], [[Ivy City–Franklin Square Line|D4]] and [[Washington Hospital Center Line|D8]] and [[Benning Road Line|X3]].

((see also|List of Metrobus routes in Washington, D.C.))

==Crime==
Crime was a significant problem in Trinidad in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 2007 and 2008, an abnormal rash of gun violence in the neighborhood resulted in police checkpoints, which were declared unconstitutional by the federal [[Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit]] in 2009.<ref>((cite news|last1=Glod|first1=Maria|title=Federal Courts Says D.C. Police Checkpoints Were Unconstitutional|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/10/AR2009071002750.html|access-date=16 January 2015|agency=Washington Post|date=11 July 2009))</ref>
