More on Prince Fredrick Maryland

Prince Frederick is an unincorporated community in Maryland between Huntingtown and Port Republic, the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. It's nestled at the intersection of Highway four and 402 and borders Barstow and Dares Beach. It's home to approximately 3000 residents spread out throughout Calvert County, which it's also the county seat.

Prince Frederick History

Speaking of the county seat, it's been the county seat of Calvert County since 1722 when officials chose a parcel of land known as Williams Old Field as the spot for the new County Courthouse. It was completed in 1732 and the town was most likely named for George II son Frederick, Prince of Wales during the time of the town's original conception. Over the next 150 years, the small community grew very slowly until the 1960s when Albert Irvin Cassell, a prominent architect in Washington DC, decided to develop Chesapeake Heights on the Day, a 520-acre summer resort community for African-Americans. However, the grand design of a peer, marina, beaches, motels, and residential homes ended abruptly with his death that same year.

In 1984, the small community was named one of the seven "town centers" by the Calvert County government. This meant that while Prince Frederick was not formally incorporated, special zoning regulations would set aside boundaries to establish new growth centered around the existing commercial and residential districts. This took advantage of existing infrastructure and it was designed to discourage poorly planned urban sprawl. The town center also meant the creation of special architectural review boards that would promote and encourage new buildings within the town center.

Today, any buildings are still listed on the National Register of Historic Places and you'll find glimpses of past errors in the architecture, design, and of course, the town center. The area had a 77% population growth between 2000 and 2010 and because it's just 5 miles from the Chesapeake Bay, there's definitely something drawing people to this area. Famous people such as author Tom Clancy have called Prince Frederick home in addition to the Calvert County Commissioner Earl Hance, Congressman, Justice of the Supreme Court, and other notable residents.

"There are a lot of organizations/clubs here. Also they have very good sports teams. I have run Cross Country and Track and field every year, and the coaches are great. I have 2 State Championships under my belt. 
Access to Career Training Academy has been incredible. Health Professions track has really been preparing me for a career as a Physical Therapist. The teachers are very knowledgeable and most are currently practicing in their fields. We are able to participate in clinicals, both in person and virtually. We will be given the opportunity to shadow professionals in the field, which will give us a first hand view or what each profession is really like. Hopefully, this will help me to make the right choices for my undergraduate degree. I feel like my time here has made me more focused, and given me something exciting to look forward to every day.
