Saint Mary's County (often abbreviated as St. Mary's County), established in 1637, is a county located in the U.S. state of Maryland. As of the 2010 census, the population was 105,151.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/24/24037.html )〕 Its county seat is Leonardtown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The name is in honor of Mary, the mother of Jesus.〔(St. Mary's County in Maryland State Archives )〕
St. Mary's County comprises the California-Lexington Park, MD Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA Combined Statistical Area. It is part of the Southern Maryland region. The county was the home to the first Maryland Colony, the first capitol of the Colony of Maryland and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in North America.〔Cecilius Calvert, "Instructions to the Colonists by Lord Baltimore, (1633)" in Clayton Coleman Hall, ed., Narratives of Early Maryland, 1633-1684 (NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1910), 11-23.〕
It is also home to the Patuxent River Naval Air Station and also St. Mary's College of Maryland.
St. Mary's County has been traditionally known for its unique and historic culture of Chesapeake Bay tidewater farming, fishing and crabbing communities. But with the advent of the military bases, growth of an extensive defense contractor presence and the growth of St. Mary's College of Maryland, as well as increasing numbers of long-distance Washington D.C. commuters, it has been undergoing a decades-long transformation.〔"Bay Community in Flux: St. Mary's Peninsula Struggles to Cope with Growth", Christian Science Monitor, Adam Karlin, March 2005 https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=20050328&id=0_EyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zAgGAAAAIBAJ&pg=6552,7842571〕 The county's population has doubled since 1970.〔
