In 1870 a small railroad village called Huntington City sprang up around a railroad depot called Bowie Station. It was named in honor of Maryland Governor Oden Bowie, a local resident instrumental in bringing the railroad to the area. Huntington was incorporated in 1874 and in 1882 was renamed Bowie, but to this day the surrounding area is known as either Huntington or Old Bowie. In 1957 the face of Bowie began to change. Just a few miles south of Bowie, the Belair Farm, in business since the 1740s, was sold when its owner William Woodward, Jr., died. The property was acquired by developer William J. Levitt and the land quickly became a suburban development known as Belair at Bowie. In 1959 Belair at Bowie was annexed by the Town of Bowie. The city has grown to one of the largest in Maryland with a population of over 50,000.
