==Naming==
Harper's Choice is named for Robert Goodloe Harper, a South Carolina representative who relocated to Baltimore to practice law. He was part of the Federalist mobs that stabbed, tarred and feathered British loyalists in Baltimore in June 1812. He later served in the War of 1812, Maryland State Senate, and United States Senate. He lived on Oakland Manor, where he was buried, and his grave was moved to Baltimore to make way for the Columbia development.
The Longfellow community was named for the American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the street names are from his works. Hobbit's Glen was taken from the works of English author J. R. R. Tolkien, along with the street names. Swansfield's name was inspired by the etching ''The Swan'' by James McNeill Whistler, and the street names derive from the works of Winslow Homer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕〔Kellner, Barbara("How the Streets of Harper's Choice were Named" ), columbiamaryland.com/sharp.htm, accessed May 29, 2009〕
