Located on the north-eastern edge of Prince George's County, Bowie was originally a small railroad stop at the junction of the Baltimore and Potomac's main line to Southern Maryland and the branch line to Washington, DC. Today it’s grown to become the fifth largest incorporated city in the State of Maryland, and largest in PG County.
