History
Maryland City was developed by the Maryland City Corp, owned by developer Harvey Kayne. The 1,200 acres (490 ha) of eastern Laurel, Maryland, were purchased in 1960 for $3 million from a developer planning “Meade City”. The concept was to build low-cost houses with ground-rent rather than ownership.
