Barney Circle is a small neighborhood located on the western bank of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, D.C. The neighborhood is named for the traffic circle which was built as part of the now-defunct Washington streetcar system; the circle was the point at which the streetcars turned around to head back north. The circle is named for the American naval hero, Commodore Joshua Barney.

The Barney Circle Neighborhood covers Pennsylvania Avenue SE to the south, Potomac Avenue SE on the north, 15th Street SE on the west, and 17th Street SE on the east. However, we have an extended family within Hilleast and Capital Hill.

The discussions of our members revolve around issues and events that are within our neighborhood.
