History
Mitchellville was named for John Mitchell (1788–1862), who owned Essington Hall, the plantation that encompassed much of the area. He and his wife Mary Lanham are buried in the Mitchell Family Cemetery on Mitchellville and Mount Oak Road. This location is now South Bowie, and the Bowie CDP 08775
An 1878 G.M. Hopkins Atlas shows "Mitchellville P.O." near the same corner of what is today Mitchellville and Mount Oak Road. In its original cataloging the name and place "Mitchellville", the USGS used the railroad guide "Mitchellville (Mulliki'n) G. S. Owensville sheet Mitchellville P. G. 614 Mulliken R.'R. Guide, 314." as a basis in its decision card documentation where a Mullikin/Mitchellville railroad stop served also as the post office. This is also seen in other historic maps
The area was historically occupied by various farming families, who mainly raised tobacco and cattle on homesteads in the area. During the late 70s, the county's desire to increase the desirability of Prince Georges' as a homestead for various professionals led to the rezoning of many tracts of land in the area. Between 1979 and 1995, much of the farmland in the area was redeveloped for residential and commercial use.
