The earliest evidence of people in the College Park area comes from a site just south of Archives II, where projectile points of the Clagett and Vernon styles dating from 3000 to 2600 BC were found, notable for their distance from a river and suggesting that Native people became more settled as local food grew more plentiful. When Europeans arrived in the early 17th century, the region's Native groups were united in a chiefdom under the Piscataway. In the 17th and 18th centuries settlers lived on large plantations, some held under original grants from Lord Baltimore, including Toaping Castle, granted to Colonel Isaac Walker around 1745, and the Calvert family's Riversdale, of which the Old Parish House of 1817 was a farm building.
The oldest standing building in College Park is the Rossborough Inn, completed in 1803. The forerunner of the University of Maryland was chartered in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College and became a land-grant college in February 1864. Eugene Campbell first platted the College Park subdivision in 1872, and after it stayed undeveloped, the Washington developers John O. Johnson and Samuel Curriden replatted it in 1889 in a grid of long, narrow lots. By 1900 it was growing quickly, drawing people escaping crowded Washington and the college's growing staff. In 1909 the Army Signal Corps established College Park Airport so that Wilbur Wright could teach military officers to fly the government's first airplane, and civilian aircraft began flying there in December 1911, making it the world's oldest continuously operating airport.
