Welcome Newcomers!
Calvert County, the smallest county in Southern Maryland, has been one of
the fastest growing counties in the state for the last few decades. This growth
is partially due to the county’s location in the Greater Washington Area, the
expansion of operations at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Lexington
Park, St. Mary’s County and the county’s outstanding quality of life. Located
only 46 miles from Washington, D.C., it retains its rural character and agrarian
roots, offering good schools, a clean environment and good quality of life.
Calvert is a peninsula, bounded by the Chesapeake Bay on the east and the
Patuxent River on the west. Steep cliffs and woods predominate on the bay side
while along the Patuxent, rolling fields slip gently down to the river. The county’s many creeks provide refuge for wildlife as well as scenic areas for boating
and fishing. Containing approximately 219 square miles, the county is 9 miles
at its widest point, and 35 miles from the Anne Arundel line to Solomons.
Prince Frederick, the county seat, is located 35 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., and 55 miles south of Baltimore. There are two incorporated towns in
Calvert County, North Beach and Chesapeake Beach, located on the bay at the
northeast corner of the county.
In addition, the Comprehensive Plan identifies seven town centers. These
include (from north to south) Dunkirk, Owings, Huntingtown, Prince Frederick,
St. Leonard, Lusby and Solomons. The topography of Calvert County is variable
and rugged. An upland plain runs generally in a northwest-southwest direction
and forms the central spine of the county. On the Chesapeake Bay side, the
upland terminates in high cliffs of clay, gravel and sand rising from the shoreline to maximum heights of 125 to 135 feet.
These cliffs are famous for the prehistoric fossils and sharks teeth that have
been found in them.
On the west, the upland areas slope toward the Patuxent River forming a
level terrace commonly called “bottom land” and boasting some of the best
farmland in the county.

Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division to develop a pipeline for students
to advance from academic studies to
employment within Southern Maryland. The partnership will develop the
framework for interaction between
CSM students and faculty, area
elementary, middle and high school
students and teachers and NAWCAD
scientists and mentors. The initiative
identifies students with an interest in
science while they are in elementary
school, and will provide learning and
internship opportunities for them
through college.
CSM partners with other higher
education and navel organizations
such as the University of Maryland’s
A. James Clark School of Engineering,
the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center and the Naval Air Warfare
Center aircraft division to establish
aerospace and mechanical engineering bachelor of science degree programs in Southern Maryland. CSM
facilitates workforce development and
a strong connection to the region’s
business community through its Corporate Center.
