Lower Marlboro, Maryland

Lower Marlboro, (not to be confused with Upper Marlboro, which is approximately 15 miles north) is a small, waterfront unincorporated community located at the crossroads of MD 262 and Chaneyville Road in Calvert County, Maryland, United States, along the east bank of the Patuxent River.

[1] Although Lower Marlboro is not incorporated, does not have a central business district, or even a post office or Zip code, it does possess some substantial history.

Throughout the 19th century, Lower Marlboro was considered a port town on the Patuxent River where tobacco was loaded and unloaded for ships.

[2] More recently, Lower Marlboro featured a small, private air strip until the property was sold to homebuilders in the mid 1990s.

A golf course and driving range are now located adjacent to the old air field property.
