TB is an unincorporated community in Prince George's County, in the U.S. state of Maryland, near the intersection of highways MD 5 and US 301.
History
A post office called T.B. was established in 1860, and remained in operation until 1914. Some say the community has the name of Thomas Brooke, an eary settler, while others believe partners William Townshend and one Mr. Brooke each etched their last initial into stone at the original town site. TB has been noted for its unusually short place name.
