Elkton, MD History
Once named "Head of Elk", the area of what is now Elkton was settled originally by Swedish explorers in the late-17th century. Its prime location right on the river was one of the reasons why people chose to build a community here.
After the Revolutionary War, the town was officially named Elkton. Later on, in the 1920s and 30s, the town was the site of many quick marriages, as restrictive marriage laws had not come into effect in this part of the state. As a result, many people (including some well-known celebrities) eloped to Elkton.
Elkton has ten locations listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
