NoMa (sometimes stylized NoMA) is a portmanteau of the words "North of Massachusetts Avenue" that is being used by real estate developers to brand a large tract of land in Washington DC that is located just north of Capitol Hill and Union Station. The area comprises the neighborhoods of Truxton Circle, Sursum Corda, and Near Northeast and includes a section historically known as Swampoodle. It is home to several important historic structures including the Woodward & Lothrop Service Warehouse (on the National Register of Historic Places), the Uline Arena, St. Aloysius Church, Gonzaga College High School, and the Government Printing Office.

Although much of the planning for the area took place during the late-1990s, formal development commenced when the District of Columbia City Council approved creation of the NoMa Business Improvement District (BID). Development has ushered in a number of prominent commercial businesses, government organizations, and retail establishments. The area is served by multiple modes of transportation including rail (via the Red Line of the Washington Metro), bus (via the Greyhound Lines terminal) and bicycle (via the Metropolitan Branch Trail).
