Lake Largo is located in Upper Marlboro's neighborhood of Largo.

Largo (/lɑːrɡ/) is an unincorporated area and census-designated place in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States.[3] The population was 11,605 at the 2020 census.[4]

Largo is located just east of the Capital Beltway (I-95/495) and is home to Prince George's Community College and Largo High School. Six Flags America amusement park (formerly known as Wild World and Adventure World) is to the east in Woodmore, and FedExField, the Washington Commanders's stadium, is across the Capital Beltway in Summerfield. Watkins Regional Park in Kettering just to the east of Largo (operated by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission) has an old-fashioned carousel, miniature train ride, miniature golf, the Old Maryland Farm, a playground, and animals on display.[5] Largo is not a post office designation, but is at the northern end of the Greater Upper Marlboro ZIP code area.

Since the transit system's expansion in late 2004, Downtown Largo station has served as the eastern end of the Blue and Silver Lines of the Washington Metro.

History

Largo was named after the Largo Plantation that was owned by the Beall family. The plantation is believed to be named after Largo Bay in Scotland. It was sold to John Contee in 1745.[6]

Arelis R. Hernández of The Washington Post stated in 2015 that "There has been talk for decades of relocating the [Prince George's County] government to Largo".[7] In 2015 Rushern Baker, the county executive, expressed a desire to move the county seat from Upper Marlboro to Largo since the latter has a more central location and access to the Washington Metro network. A spokesperson for Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., the President of the Maryland Senate, expressed opposition to this idea.[7]

Transportation

The WMATA (Washington Area Transit Authority), Blue and Silver Lines eastern terminus is Downtown Largo station. Downtown Largo Station is served by several regional bus routes operated by both WMATA and Prince Georges County's The Bus.

Government and infrastructure

Even though the county seat is in Upper Marlboro, multiple agencies of the Government of Prince George's County, including the majority of the county's executive branch, reside in Largo. In the 1990s the PG County government purchased some properties and leased others, and county administrative functions were moved to Largo.[7] Circa 2010,[13] five PG County agencies were headquartered in these properties in Largo. Beginning in 2011, four additional county agencies relocated to Largo, and the county government acquired at least eight parcels of land and/or buildings. As of 2015 County Executive Baker held his "Citizen Day" in Largo instead of Upper Marlboro.[7]

Prince George's County Police Department District 2 Station in Brock Hall CDP, with a Bowie postal address, serves the community.[14]

The U.S. Postal Service operates the Largo Post Office in Lake Arbor CDP, with a Largo postal address.[15][16]
