[3] Simon J. Martenet's 1860 Map of Howard County Maryland shows the farm along the crossroads of Route One, where George Washington once travelled.

[7] In April 2013 the Duvall Farm was burned from large brush fires that were considered connected to arson on the Laurel Fuel and Oil Company.

[8][9] The farm was adjacent to historic Laurel Park race track and rezoned for high density "transit-oriented development" under growth policies of Parris Glendening.

Coastal Sunbelt Produce was offered $1 million in loans and $150,000 in Howard County tax credits to relocate to a 240,000-square-foot (22,000 m2) Preston Scheffenacker Properties facility built on the Duvall Farm with a 99-year lease.

[13] The new facility covering the majority of the 33-acre site had a groundbreaking on August 18 with Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown attending.
