The Town of Upper Marlboro Government

The Town of Upper Marlboro Government The official page for the historic Town of Upper Marlboro, MD The incorporated Town of Upper Marlboro is 1 square mile around downtown Upper Marlboro.

Once a port town, the Town is on the Western Branch of the Patuxent River. The main stem of the Patuxent River, not far from the Town, forms the eastern border of Prince George’s County. The Town is among the oldest of the surviving southern Maryland towns with a history dating back to colonial times. The area was settled around 1695 and named after the first Duke of Marlborough — an ancestor of

Winston Churchill. It was established as a port town for to***co shipments in 1706 when the western branch of the Patuxent River was still navigable for to***co vessels. It has been the county seat of Prince George’s County since 1721. The town is the birthplace of John Carroll, the first Catholic Archbishop in America and founder of Georgetown University, and of his brother Daniel, a signer of the U.S. Constitution. Throughout its history, Upper Marlboro has been the home or place of work of prominent national, state, and local figures.
