Morganza, Maryland

Morganza is an unincorporated community in St. Mary's County, Maryland, United States.

[2] The current church on Route 5 at the top of the hill was built in 1860 and the Morganza Post Office was established there in 1867, named after the Morgan family.

[citation needed] Morganza was home to two public one-room school houses, and the church opened a parochial school for white students in 1926 and for black children in 1927.

Fr LaFarge was quoted as having said that his ministry among both the white and Afro-American parishioners taught him about racial injustice.

[citation needed] St. Joseph's original cemetery is located at the bottom of the hill along Route 5 and for many years was forgotten under dense underbrush, but has since been cleared.
