Descriptionformerly Carrollton; renamed New Carrollton, May 2, 1966

The developer of New Carrollton envisioned a completely planned suburban city—a novel idea in the 1950s. He effectively lobbied the Maryland General Assembly to declare his visionary city an incorporated community even before the land was developed or had any residents.

To link the new community to Maryland’s rich heritage, the developer named it after one of the state’s early leaders, John Carroll of Carrollton—a spokesman for the colonies, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and one of the first United States Senators from Maryland. Since its inception, the city has lived up to the high accomplishments of its namesake, growing and flourishing as a city with a lasting sense of community and uniqueness.
