Howard District was created from Anne
Arundel County by Chapter 22, Acts of 1838
(confirmed by Chapter 50, Acts of 1839). Al-
though unrepresented in the General Assem-
bly, the District enjoyed the status of a county.
It officially was formed as a county in 1851
(Const. 1851, Art. VIII, sec. I). The County
was named for John Eager Howard (1752-
1827), Revolutionary War officer, Maryland
governor, and statesman.
