Mount Rainier /reÉªËnÉªÉr/ is a city in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The population was 8,080 at the 2010 census. Bordering Washington, D.C. , Mount Rainier got its start as a streetcar suburb. (See Streetcars in Washington, D.C. ) According to local tradition, surveyors from the Pacific Northwest named the town, giving the streets names such as  Shasta  and  Cascade .
The mountain, a part of the Cascade Range, is a volcano that has not erupted for 2,000 years. It is also the highest mountain in the state of Washington. English explorer George Vancouver named Mount Rainier in honor of another navigator, Peter Rainier. Some people, however, prefer to call the mountain by its Indian name, Mount Tacoma.
