'''Glenarden''' is a city in [[Prince George's County, Maryland]], United States.<ref>{{gnis|597453}}</ref> Per the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 6,402.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Glenarden city, Maryland|url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US2432500|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=April 15, 2022}}</ref>

== History ==
Glenarden was developed in 1919, when W. R. Smith purchased a group of properties approximately 10 miles east of [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], and established a residential community of 15 people. Three decades later, under the banner of the Civic Association, the African-American, middle-class suburban community that had developed from Smith's venture petitioned the State Legislature for incorporation as the Town of Glenarden. The charter was granted on March 30, 1939, making Glenarden the third predominantly black incorporated town in the State of Maryland. W. H. Swann was elected as its first mayor.<ref name="City of Glenarden, Maryland"/><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.city-data.com/city/Glenarden-Maryland.html |title= Glenarden, Maryland|publisher= City-Data.com|access-date=August 24, 2012}}</ref>

==Transportation==
[[File:2019-07-05 11 12 56 View north along Interstate 95 and Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) from the overpass for Glenarden Parkway in Glenarden, Prince George's County, Maryland.jpg|thumb|right|I-95/I-495 northbound in Glenarden]]
The most prominent highway passing through Glenarden is [[Interstate 95 in Maryland|Interstate 95]]/[[Interstate 495 in Maryland|Interstate 495]] (the Capital Beltway). I-495 follows the Capital Beltway around [[Washington, D.C.]], providing access to its many other suburbs. I-95 only follows the eastern portion of the beltway, diverging away from the beltway near both its north and south ends. To the north, I-95 passes through [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]], [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]], [[New York City, New York|New York City]] and [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] on its way to [[Canada]], while to the south, it traverses [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] on its way to [[Florida]].

However, there is no direct access to Glenarden from I-95/I-495. The primary connection is via its interchange with [[Maryland Route 202]] just south of the city limits, which connects to [[Maryland Route 704]] and other minor roads which pass directly through the city.

Glenarden is near the [[New Carrollton station|New Carrollton Metro Station]] to the north and Landover Metro station to the west. Both stations reside on the [[Orange Line (Washington Metro)|Orange Line]] of the [[Washington Metro]] system. New Carrollton will be the eastern end of the  [[Purple Line (Maryland)|Purple Line]] light rail system, which will also connect to the Red, Green and Yellow lines in the Metro system. The Purple Line is under construction as of 2022 and is scheduled to open in 2026.<ref>{{cite news |last=Shaver |first=Katherine |date=2022-01-26 |title=Md. board approves $3.4 billion contract to complete Purple Line |work=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/01/26/purple-line-contract-maryland/}}</ref>
