Although it’s one of the smallest counties in Maryland, Calvert County is steeped in U.S. history. It was founded in 1654 and named after the Barons of Baltimore. It played its part in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and even World War II. But history isn’t all it has to offer.
The 10 towns that call Calvert County, Maryland home are full of family-friendly activities and beautiful neighborhoods. Are you relocating to the area? Then take a look at our profile of some of these towns and their neighborhoods.
Prince Frederick
We love visiting Battle Creek Cypress Swamp. Not only can you enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk through abundant greenery. But there’s also a small Nature Preserve that you won’t want to miss. And if you need another spot to take the little ones, consider Hallowing Point Park, where they can play on the baseball fields and extensive playground.

Broomes Island
This city is on the mouth of Island Creek at the end of Route 264. And it’s just one of many small villages. There are only a few houses, some stores, a church, and an oyster packing plant.
The water is never very far away. And although it’s not a literal island most days. Sometimes, when there’s a heavy storm or when the road floods, then it can be said that it’s a true island.
Lusby
If you commute to D.C., Arlington, or Alexandria, Lusby is a great place to live! The average commute time to these cities is 42 minutes. It’s home to less than 2,000 people, which contributes to a tight-knit community. You can enjoy a variety of golf courses, tennis courts, and baseball fields.
And if you just want to get away for a weekend, try staying at the Cove Point Lighthouse.
