Metrorail Construction Phases?

Hello,

I have always wondered about how the Metro got constructed and origional routings before some lines were constructed.

Like what stops were the first built? Next addition/extsension? Next exstension/line? etc.

If anyone has a general timeline of how it was made that would be awesome.

All I know is some of the curent exspansions (probably not in order) like, the Blue Line exteneded to Largo, Green Line to Branch Avenue and Silver Line stuff.

So any help would be great!

The whole thing is written out here, under "Timeline":

The first section was Farragut North to Rhode Island Avenue, and then the last section of the original system to open was south from Anacostia to Branch Avenue.
