History
Developer Albert W. Turner acquired the former estate of horse racing figure Edward L. Mahoney after Mahoney's death in 1957 and transformed it into a planned suburb. Turner had secured a charter for the City of Carrollton from the Maryland General Assembly on April 11, 1953. He named the community after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, an early Maryland settler and the last surviving signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
Since two other Maryland communities also carried the name Carrollton, voters approved renaming the city to New Carrollton in a referendum on May 2, 1966.
