A Brief History of Lancombe, Maryland

In 1958, when the Lacombes moved further from Washington, D.C., developers rushed into the Lacombe area to build malls and fast food establishments. Lacombe became a town on September 28, 1996 by a vote of the inhabitants. From this time, Lacombe was no longer associated with Lanham except by proximity in much the same way as the Vatican is not part of Rome.

In 1996, the Federal Government chose the community as the site for it's Model Community Program. Subsequent to this development, the Town government selected its motto--"The Little Town with a Big Heart". It also designated the Lacombe, Maryland flag after a strenuous search in which all inhabitants were allowed to participate in the design. The flag is on a turquoise background with three Fleurs de Lis representative of the original inhabitants French ancestry. The town anthem consists of a series of croaks imitating a frog and a contest is held annually to determine the best croaker. The ardvark was selected as the town's animal and the dandelion was approved as its flower.

Its convenient location situated on a main road just off of the Washington Beltway, approximate 20-minute drive into Washington, D.C. and half way between Andrews Air Force Base and Silver Spring have made it an ideal residential and business area. It's less than a 10-minute drive to the Goddard Space Flight Center, only a 15-minute drive to College Park Campus at the University of Maryland and only 30-minutes to the Chesapeake Bay.

The government has made a major contribution to the Town of Lacombe through its humor. Its resident humorist being the Honorable Mayor (John J. Lacombe Sr.). Some of his humor may be gleaned from The Fort. Its main economy is based on government retirement payments and on the "A Web Page for You" web page design services located in downtown Lacombe.

And yet Lacombe has always remained a "small" town where one could still enjoy close community spirit and neighborly friendships. Lacombe was part of the very successful "Annapolis Road" program. Situated just below the town are four hotels and the New Carrollton Metro Station.

Its close link with its glorious history has not been forgotten. Annapolis Road was and is also known as "Defense Highway" (originally an Indian trail) designed for the defense of Washington against the British. It's so named the Annapolis Road because it runs to our Nation's first national Capital (Annapolis) before the United States came into official existence.
