History

Mitchellville was named for John Mitchell (1788–1862), who owned Essington Hall, the plantation that encompassed much of the area. He and his wife Mary Lanham are buried in the Mitchell Family Cemetery on Mitchellville and Mount Oak Road.[6] This location is now South Bowie, and the Bowie CDP 08775 [7] An 1878 G.M. Hopkins Atlas shows "Mitchellville P.O." near the same corner of what is today Mitchellville and Mount Oak Road. In its original cataloging the name and place "Mitchellville", the USGS used the railroad guide "Mitchellville (Mulliki'n) G. S. Owensville sheet Mitchellville P. G. 614 Mulliken R.'R. Guide, 314." as a basis in its decision card documentation[8] where a Mullikin/Mitchellville railroad stop served also as the post office. This is also seen in other historic maps[9]

As of 2010, the Census designated place ("CDP") Mitchellville is no longer encompassing of the original Mitchellville, location of the old Essington Hall, but is drawn one CDP tract over on the west of the Woodmore CDP.[10]

Also, see "Woodmore" for common historical information[11]

Economy

When it existed, Crown Books had its headquarters in what was delineated as Mitchellville CDP in the 1990s and was delineated as Lake Arbor CDP in 2000.[12][13][14]

The shopping complex The Boulevard at the Capital Centre formerly occupied an area now known as Lake Arbor.[14][15] The Mitchellville CDP was also home to the former Capital Centre (USAir Arena/US Airways Arena),[16] which was demolished, with the Boulevard at the Capital Centre built on the same site.[17]

Government and infrastructure
