Glassmanor is a community located in Prince George's County, Maryland, in the United States. It is known as a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it's an area that the United States Census Bureau defines for counting people, even though it's not an official town or city with its own local government.
As of the 2020 census, about 18,430 people lived in Glassmanor. In earlier censuses (1990 and 2000), Glassmanor was counted together with a nearby community called Oxon Hill. Before that, in 1980, Glassmanor was counted separately and had a population of 7,751.
The first Glassmanor apartments were built around 1950 by the Glassman company. They were located just outside the southeast part of Washington. In the mid-1950s, the Eastover shopping center was built nearby. More apartment buildings were added in the 1960s. U.S. Senator George McGovern, who ran for president in 1972, lived in Glassmanor for a short time when he was a new congressman.
