Overview of Prince George’s County, Maryland

Prince George’s County is a suburban county located in the state of Maryland immediately east of Washington, D.C.. It is notable as the wealthiest majority-African American county in the country.

The county was named for Prince George of Denmark, the brother of King Christian V of Denmark and Norway, and husband of Queen Anne of Great Britain. Its county seat is Upper Marlboro.

History

Prince George’s County was created in 1696 from portions of Charles and Calvert Counties, and a portion was detached in 1748 to form Frederick County. (Actually, since Frederick County was subsequently divided to form the present Allegany, Garrett, Montgomery, and Washington Counties, all of these counties in addition were derived from what had up to 1748 been Prince George’s County.) Another portion later became part of the District of Columbia when that entity was formed in 1791.

In 1997, a portion of Prince George’s County was transferred to Montgomery County so that the city of Takoma Park, Maryland would be entirely in one county.

Law and government

Since 1792, the county seat has been Upper Marlboro. Prior to 1792, the county seat was located at Mount Calvert, a 76 acre (308,000 m²) estate along the Patuxent River on the edge of what is now in the unincorporated community of Croom.

Prince George’s County was granted a charter form of government in 1970.

County Executive

The current county executive is Jack B. Johnson.
