As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 50,269, making it the largest incorporated municipality in Prince George's County. Founded in 1870, and incorporated as a town in 1916, Bowie has grown from a small railroad stop to the largest municipality in Prince George's County, and the fourth largest city in the State of Maryland. The town was first called Huntington City, though its train station was named in honor of local resident, Governor Oden Bowie, president of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad. The town was subsequently rechartered as Bowie. In the early days the land was subdivided by developers into more than 500 residential building lots, to create a large town site at a junction of the Baltimore and Potomac's main line to southern Maryland, and the branch line to Washington, DC.

A Metting Planner's Tour Our exhibitors really like the state's central location," says Kristin Mirabel, meetings manager for the Optical Society of America. Not only is Maryland an easy flight from dozens of airports across the U.S. but, Mirabel notes, "the state offers facilities to accommodate just about any group." And in Baltimore, unlike several other major convention cities, Mirabel points out, "the close proximity of so many hotel rooms to the convention center is a huge asset." Given the fact that Washington, D.C., is the association capital of the United States, it's easy to see why nearby Maryland would be an appealing meeting destination from a convenience perspective. But Maryland offers association groups far more advantages than mere geography. In addition to a couple of tried-and-true favoritesBaltimore and Ocean CityMaryland also gives planners options ranging from quaint historic settings to nature-oriented meeting locales.

Am Potomac River gelegen, wurde Washington D.C. auf Land gebaut, dass ursprünglich zu Maryland und Virginia gehörte. Der in Frankreich geborene amerikanische Ingenieur, Architekt und Stadtplaner Pierre-Chalres L'Enfant entwarf den Grundriss der Stadt, mit breiten Strassen, die vom Kapitol ausgehen, und zahlreichen Kreisen und Parks. Die Bezeichnung "District of Columbia" ehrt Christopher Columbus, der bekanntere Name der Stadt, Washington, ehrt den ersten Präsidenten. Der Kongress traf sich 1800 zum ersten Mal in Washington, auch wenn der erste Bauabschnitt des Kapitols erst 1825 fertiggestellt wurde. Heute besuchen Millionen jedes Jahr Washington D.C. um das Kapitol, das Weisse Haus, die Library of Congress und die zahlreichen Museen und Monumente der Stadt zu besichtigen.
