CALVERT COUNTY MARYLAND 

Calvert County holds pristine waterways and natural parks, unique attractions and a calendar filled with interesting events and activities.
 

DISCOVER
 

Calvert County is located 30 miles southeast of Washington, D.C. and is bounded on the east by the scenic Chesapeake Bay and on the west by the Patuxent River. 

The land and water define the Calvert County experience.

Often referred to as the 'Charm of the Chesapeake', and once made up primarily of farms and tobacco fields, the county has become a fast-growing exurban neighbor of Washington. Many home prices have nearly quadrupled in the past decade, with many four-bedroom homes in the northern half of the county averaging over $1,000,000. The popular weekend resort towns of Solomons, Chesapeake Beach, and North Beach are notable. The county has a number of properties on the National Register of Historic Places.

The county's education system consists of 13 elementary schools, six middle schools, four high schools, vocational education center, and a variety of other facilities.

Fun Fact: Calvert County has been the setting for several movies and television programs. The opening scene of the 1993 Clint Eastwood movie In the Line of Fire was filmed at Flag Harbor Marina in St. Leonard. And more recently, the Calvert County Sheriff's Department has been featured on several reality television programs, including Speeders on the truTV network, MTV's Busted and is currently featured weekly on A&E's Live PD.
