As of the 2010 census, the population was 971,777, and a 2014 estimate put the population at 1,030,447.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/24/24031.html )〕 It is the most populous county in Maryland. The county seat and largest municipality is Rockville, although the census-designated place of Germantown is the most populous place. Montgomery County is included in the Washington–Arlington–Alexandria, DC–VA–MD–WV Metropolitan Statistical Area. Most of the county's residents live in unincorporated locales, of which the most built up are Silver Spring, and Bethesda, though the incorporated cities of Rockville and Gaithersburg are also large population centers as are many smaller but significant places. As one of the most affluent counties in the United States, it also has the highest percentage (29.2%) of residents over 25 years of age who hold post-graduate degrees.〔(US Census Bureau: R1403. Percent of People 25 Years and Over Who Have Completed an Advanced Degree: 2004 ) 〕 In 2011, it was ranked by Forbes as the 10th richest in the United States, with a median household income of $92,213.〔("Complete List: America's Richest Counties" ), ''Forbes'', February 2, 2008〕〔("Montgomery County QuickFacts" ), September 9, 2009〕 Montgomery County, like other inter Washington, D.C. suburban counties, contain many major U.S. government offices, scientific research and learning centers, and business campuses.〔(), February 26, 2015〕〔(), Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, February 26, 2015〕 ==Etymology== The Maryland state legislature named Montgomery County after Richard Montgomery; the county was created from lands that had at one point or another been part of Frederick County. On September 6, 1776,〔 Thomas Sprigg Wootton from Rockville, Maryland, introduced legislation, while serving at the Maryland Constitutional Convention, to create lower Frederick County as Montgomery County. The name, Montgomery County, along with the founding of Washington County, Maryland, after George Washington, was the first time in American history that names identifying counties and provinces in the thirteen colonies would be relegated to British reference. The name use of Montgomery and Washington County were seen as further defiance to Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. The county's nickname of "MoCo" is derived from "Montgomery County", after the pattern of SoHo, Manhattan. The county's motto, adopted in 1976, is "Gardez Bien", a phrase meaning "Watch Well". The county's motto is also the motto of its namesake's family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montgomery County, Maryland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
