Marydel is an incorporated town in Caroline County, Maryland, United States.
Publisher James Gordon Bennett Jr. participated in a duel near Marydel in 1877.
[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.08 square miles (0.21 km2), all land.
[5] The town of Marydel was settled by Austro-Hungarian Catholic farmers circa 1914, around the time that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to plunge Europe into World War I, and some immigrants from that area came to the United States.
In recent times, beginning in the 1990s, the town became home to a large community of Hispanic immigrants of Guatemalan descent.
This community is primarily Spanish speaking, with some of the Guatemalan Mam dialect mixed in.
[6][7] The primary means of travel to and from Marydel is by road, and three state highways serve the town.
In addition, Delaware Route 8 ends at the town and state line and heads eastward from Marydel.
