If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]The district was developed in the early part of the 20th century by members of the Calvert family who were descendants or other relatives of Charles Benedict Calvert, the owner of Riversdale Plantation and Rossborough Farm and the founder of what is now the University of Maryland, College Park. The majority of homes were built for families in the early 1940s. Many of the single-family houses in the district follow a Colonial, Cape Cod, or Victorian style[1]. Calvert Hills was annexed into the city of College Park in 1943.
Recently there was approval of redistricting by the College Park City Council, a significant decision that can shape the future landscape and representation of the community. Redistricting often involves complex considerations such as population demographics, political representation, and community cohesion, making it a topic of interest and importance for residents and policymakers alike in College Park.
