Why the Name Prince George's County?
The county's official name is "Prince George's County, Maryland." It was named after Prince George of Denmark (1653–1708). He was the husband of Anne, Queen of Great Britain.
People from the county are called Prince Georgians. The county's motto is Semper Eadem, which means "Ever the Same." This phrase was also used by Queen Anne.
Many people shorten the name to "PG" or "PG County." Some residents like this shorter name, while others prefer the full name.

Long, long ago, in the Cretaceous Era, dinosaurs roamed this area. You can still find their fossils in a 7.5-acre park in Laurel. This site has found fossilized teeth from dinosaurs like Astrodon. It is known as one of the best fossil sites in the eastern United States.
Later, Native Americans lived here. When the first European settlers arrived, the Piscataway Indian Nation called this land home. Today, three branches of this tribe still exist, and two are based in Prince George's County.
The 1600s: How the County Began
The Council of Maryland created Prince George's County in April 1696. It was formed from parts of Charles and Calvert counties. The county was split into six areas called "Hundreds."
The 1700s: Changes and New Borders
In 1748, a part of Prince George's County was used to create Frederick County. Later, Frederick County was divided into other counties. This means that Allegany, Garrett, Montgomery, and Washington counties all came from what was once Prince George's County.
In 1791, some parts of Prince George's County became part of the new District of Columbia.
The 1800s: War, Freedom, and a Famous Escape
During the War of 1812, British soldiers marched through the county. They went through Bladensburg to burn the White House. On their way back, they captured a doctor named William Beanes. A lawyer named Francis Scott Key helped get him released. This event led Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner".
At one point, Prince George's County had the most enslaved people in Maryland. These enslaved Africans were forced to work on tobacco farms.
During the American Civil War, many enslaved Black men in Prince George's County gained freedom. They joined the Union Army to fight against the Confederate forces. In 1864, Maryland citizens voted to end slavery. The vote was very close, but slavery was finally ended in the state.
After the Civil War, many African Americans tried to join Maryland politics. However, they faced many challenges.
In April 1865, John Wilkes Booth escaped through Prince George's County. He was on his way to Virginia after killing President Abraham Lincoln.
The 1900s: Growth and New Leaders
In the early 1990s, the number of African Americans in the county grew again. The county became majority African American. In 1994, Wayne K. Curry was elected as the first African American County Executive.
In 1997, a part of Takoma Park that was in Prince George's County moved to Montgomery County. This happened after residents voted for the change.
The 2000s: A Growing Community
By 2020, the county's population was almost one million people. It was the largest and wealthiest county with a Black majority in the United States for a while. However, Charles County, Maryland surpassed it in 2020. The number of Hispanic residents also grew, reaching 21% of the total population.
The county saw a big drop in crime for a time. However, in 2021 and 2022, violent crime increased by 30%. From 2020 to mid-2022, over 2,200 residents died from COVID-19. Many more had long-term symptoms.
