| Description |
Laurel is a city in northern Prince George's County, Maryland, in the United States, located midway between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore on the Patuxent River. Founded as a mill town in the early 19th century, the arrival of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1835 expanded local industry and later enabled the city to become an early commuter town for Washington and Baltimore workers. Largely residential today, the city maintains a historic district centered around its Main Street, highlighting its industrial past. The Department of Defense is a prominent presence in the Laurel area today, with the Fort Meade Army base, the National Security Agency, and Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory all located nearby. The Laurel Park Racecourse, a thoroughbred horse racetrack, is located just outside city limits. The population of the city proper as of the 2010 census was 25,115, though the Laurel name has grown to encompass several adjacent unincorporated areas of Prince George's, Howard, Montgomery, and Anne Arundel counties, with a total population of 102,149. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel,_Maryland en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
