History
Maryland City was developed by the Maryland City Corp, owned by developer Harvey Kayne. The 1,200 acres (490 ha) was advertised as "eastern Laurel, Maryland" being east of the City of Laurel, were purchased in 1960 for $3 million from a developer planning "Meade City". The concept was to build low-cost houses with ground-rent rather than ownership.
