Discover Waldorf
The Waldorf area was part of the territory of the Piscataway Indian Nation, as was all of Southern Maryland. Archaeologists have confirmed villages, burial sites holding the remains of more than 1,000 people and hunting camps near the western part of Waldorf, dating from 6,000 years ago to about 1690. European and African American settlers arrived in the 1600s.
More about Waldorf
The town was known as Beantown at least as far back as the Civil War. During his flight after assassinating Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth told a road sentry he was headed home to Charles County near Beantown and was let through, and he later had his broken leg treated by Dr. Samuel A. Mudd at Mudd's home in Waldorf. In 1880 the Maryland General Assembly renamed the town Waldorf in honor of William Waldorf Astor, great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, who was born in Walldorf in Germany. In 1908 Plumb Valley, Minnesota, renamed itself Waldorf after the Maryland town. Once a tobacco market village, Waldorf became a gambling destination in the 1950s after Charles County legalized slot machines in 1949, a boom that lasted until gambling was outlawed again in 1968. Its large-scale growth as a residential community began with a 1970 federal housing loan package that financed the planned community of St. Charles within Waldorf.
