Calvert Hills is a cohesive residential neighborhood located in the City of College Park between the town of Riverdale Park to the south and Old Town College Park to the north. The residential community is nestled between Baltimore Avenue (U.S. 1) to the west and the WMATA metrorail/B&O Railroad right-of-way to the east. The district was developed in the early part of the 20th century by members of the Calvert family who were descendants or other relatives of Charles Benedict Calvert, the owner of Riversdale Plantation and Rossborough Farm and the founder of what is now the University of Maryland, College Park. Calvert Hills was annexed into the city of College Park in 1943.[1][2][3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] |
