Prince George’s County

Know to locals as PG County, we share a borderline with the District of Columbia as well as Virginia. Prince Georges County is one of the largest counties in Maryland both in size and population and his home to nearly 1,000,000 residents per the most recent census.  If Prince George’s County were a city, it would be the 13th largest in the Country.

Direct proximity to DC, VA
There are different laws in DC, VA, and MD. This can sometimes lead to a lot of problems from crossing  an invisible line into a county with completely different laws. One easy example of this is gun laws. What is a completely legal way to transport a firearm in Virginia for example will cause you to be immediately charged and arrested in Maryland for exactly the same acts.

Prince Georges County is home to National Harbor, the Gaylord National Resort, MGM National Harbor, The Capital Wheel, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, FedEx Field and the Washington Redskins, Andrews Air Force Base & the President’s Air Force One aircraft, the University of Maryland, Bowie State University, Prince George’s County Community College, Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, National Agricultural Library, National Archives at College Park, Rosecroft Raceway, USDA’s Agricultural Research Center. PG county is also home to the second most busy county courts in the state behind Baltimore City.
