Odenton, Maryland
Encyclopedia
Odenton is a census-designated place
(CDP) in Anne Arundel County
, Maryland
, United States
. The population was 20,534 at the 2000 census. The town is named after former Governor of Maryland
, Oden Bowie
. It is bordered by Gambrills
to the east, Severn
to the north, Fort Meade
to the west, and Crofton
to the south. It is located at the intersection of Maryland routes 170
and 175
and is parallel to Route 32
. The zipcode is 21113. It is often mispronounced "Odington" or "oDENton."
(A&ER) was built across a sparsely settled farming community that would later become Odenton. At the beginning of the Civil War
, Union soldiers guarded this railroad line because it was the only link between the North and the nation's capital. Rail traffic through Baltimore
had been disrupted by southern sympathizers, so supplies, mail and soldiers flowed through Annapolis
and west Anne Arundel County to Washington
.
The town of Odenton, nicknamed "The Town a Railroad Built" by Catherine L. O'Malley, was formed in 1868 with the construction of the Baltimore Potomac (B&P) Railroad
connecting Baltimore
and Washington, D. C. Where the B&P crossed the A&ER, a train station and telegraph office were constructed and named for Oden Bowie
, President of the B&P and former governor of Maryland. Train service to the station began on July 2, 1872. The rail junction (today's MARC
station) at Odenton Road, already a busy thoroughfare from Annapolis to Frederick
, became the site of Odenton's first commercial center. The Watts and Murray general stores served railroad workers and farmers, and in 1871 a post office was established. A town grew near the junction, houses were built for railroad workers, a Methodist
church was dedicated in 1891 and a grade school opened in 1892.
Small villages developed around these various railroad lines, but none amounted to more than a cluster of shops and homes around a train station and post office. The 1878 Maryland Directory listed the following towns: Conaway, Odenton, Patuxent, Sappington, and Woodwardville
. Odenton was the largest with a population of 100 with a church, a school and two stores. In nearby Woodwardville, where the B&P crossed the Little Patuxent River, A. G. Woodward was the postmaster and operated a general merchandise store in a village of 50 people. Two churches and a school served that community. Land was worth from $5 and $30 per acre, producing wheat, corn and tobacco.
Canneries, primarily for tomatoes, were built in many locations in Anne Arundel County, including Odenton and Woodwardville. The George M. Murray Canning House, built in the late 19th century on Odenton Road (behind present day 1380 and 1382 Odenton Road) was a successful operation into the early 1900s.
Shortly after 1900, another company built an electric interurban railroad parallel to the B&P and also electrified the former A&ER. Train service on these lines began in 1908. The Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad provided public transportation to central Maryland.
In 1914, the United States Naval Academy
purchased the 800 acres (3.2 km²) Hammond Manor Farm for the construction of a dairy following the 1910 typhoid fever
outbreak at the Academy. The Academy operated the dairy until 1998. Until 2005 it was the home of Dean Foods
' Horizon Organic
dairy. The farm is currently the home of Maryland Sunrise Farm.
In 1917, at the advent of World War I
, Odenton’s growth was spurred by the establishment of Fort Meade. The United States Department of War
acquired 19000 acres (76.9 km²) of land west of Odenton to develop a training camp, displacing numerous farmers, merchants and public and private enterprises, many of whom moved east to nearby Odenton. The Epiphany Chapel and Church House
at Fort Meade was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 2001. This growth accelerated in the 1950s with the establishment of the National Security Agency
on the fort and Friendship International Airport (now the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
) a few miles to the north. Odenton still maintains its railroad history through the Dennis F. Sullivan Maintenance Facility, operated by Amtrak
, which maintains track, bridges and other structures on the Amtrak/MARC line between Baltimore and Washington. All of this, as well as the suburban expansion of Baltimore and Washington, D.C., have transformed Odenton from a farmland region to a business, residential and industrial center in Anne Arundel County.
According to the United States Census Bureau
, the CDP has a total area of 12.4 square miles (32.1 km²), all of it land.
of 2000, there were 20,534 people, 7,594 households, and 5,551 families residing in the CDP. The population density
was 1,653.3 people per square mile (638.3/km2). There were 7,900 housing units at an average density of 636.1 per square mile (245.6/km2). The racial makeup of the CDP was 80.15% White, 12.76% African American, 0.37% Native American, 3.06% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 0.98% from other races
, and 2.61% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.77% of the population.
There were 7,594 households out of which 37.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 58.8% were married couples
living together, 10.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 26.9% were non-families. 19.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.70 and the average family size was 3.13.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 26.9% under the age of 18, 7.0% from 18 to 24, 38.7% from 25 to 44, 20.5% from 45 to 64, and 6.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 33 years. For every 100 females there were 94.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.7 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $65,563, and the median income for a family was $69,098 (these figures had risen to $85,137 and $96,641 respectively as of a 2007 estimate). Males had a median income of $45,965 versus $32,659 for females. The per capita income
for the CDP was $26,124. About 1.6% of families and 2.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.8% of those under age 18 and 5.2% of those age 65 or over.
