Leonardtown Md - TOWN OF LEONARDTOWN, MD. As much of small-town America is falling victim to big box stores and endless chain restaurants, Leonardtown is going its own way.

As early as 1654, Leonardtown was an important part of St. Mary's County as the location of the county court. It was established as the county seat in 1708 and remains in that post today.

Over the years, Leonardtown has seen everything from the ravages of war when it was invaded by British troops during the War of 1812, to near economic ruin when a bypass was constructed in 1990. Throughout it all, the town served as the governmental hub of the county.

Leonardtown has been experiencing a sort of renaissance in the past decade with new businesses, residential communities and a myriad of community activities all calling the town home. This blending of old and new is giving longtime residents a taste of days gone by, while attracting new generations who want to experience a slower pace of life.

As Leonardtown continues to honor its past, it looks forward to a bright future. The Leonardtown Wharf Projectincludes plans for shops, offices, residences and a public access park to take advantage of the lovely location overlooking Breton Bay. A three-acre site along McIntosh Run known as the Port of Leonardtown will also become a public park and winery. Currently, a kayak and canoe launch affords sports enthusiasts a leisurely three-mile journey amidst local wildlife and striking scenery and ends at the Leonardtown Wharf.

Leonard's Grant and Clark's Rest will provide more residential expansion with a town-themed development plan in mind. A new elementary school and more commercial space will also be included in the development.

Tudor Hall, a 390-acre tract of waterfront that abuts the downtown area, will be developed jointly by public and private entities. It will include an 18-hole golf course, 593 residential units, and eventually a hotel and conference center. A waterfront promenade, marina and public parks are also being considered for the site. Breton Bay is a popular waterfront  community
