Linchester, Maryland facts for kids

Linchester is a small place in Caroline County, Maryland, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.

The name Linchester is a special kind of word called a "portmanteau." This means it's a new word made by blending parts of two other words. In this case, "Linchester" comes from combining parts of "Caroline County" and its nearby neighbor, Dorchester County. It's a clever way to show its connection to both areas!
