LAUREL
Prince Georges County • Maryland Local
Laurel’s motto is.. “Progress Through People”
The community was originally known as “Laurel Factory”, named for its laurel trees. The town of Laurel was incorporated in 1870 and reincorporated in 1890.
The Elizabeth House, a nonprofit food pantry and soup kitchen, was founded in 1988 and is named after a volunteer veteran Elizabeth “Betty” Colnaghi.
Colnaghi began using her basement as a food pantry to serve low-income residents of the Laurel area in the 1970s. Elizabeth House continues Colnaghi’s legacy. This community effort has since grew to include emergency financial aid and transportation.
The city of Laurel supports events, like the annual LakeFest in May and Independence Day celebration each July. Since 1981, the Laurel Board of Trade has sponsored a Main Street Festival (held on Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend) each May, and since 1995 a RiverFest each October.
