Bowie in Prince George's County
Bowie is an incorporated city in Prince George's County between Washington, D.C. and Annapolis. The community started as a railroad junction in the 1870s called Huntington City, later renamed after Governor Oden Bowie. Levitt and Sons built a major subdivision here in the 1960s, rapidly transforming the area from farmland into suburbia.
Allen Pond Park hosts the annual Bowiefest and includes a lake with paddleboats, an amphitheater, and an ice arena. The Bowie Baysox, a Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, play at Prince George's Stadium on the south side of town. Belair Mansion and the Belair Stable Museum preserve the history of the Ogle family's 18th-century plantation and its thoroughbred horse breeding program.
The city straddles both the Amtrak/MARC Penn Line corridor and U.S. Route 50. Bowie State University, a historically Black institution founded in 1865, sits on the northern edge of town. The Six Flags America theme park lies just beyond the city limits in Largo. Housing in Bowie ranges from the original Levitt Cape Cod homes to newer developments in the Pointer Ridge and Northview areas.
