Crofton, Maryland
Encyclopedia
Crofton is a census-designated place
and planned community
in Anne Arundel County
, Maryland
, United States. Established in 1964, Crofton held its 40th birthday celebration in 2004.
In July 2007 Crofton was named by Money
magazine as one of "100 Best Places to Live" in the United States. Crofton placed 72nd out of 100 cities on the list. It was selected for its relative anonymity while still boasting many major amenities, excellent schools, and sought after location.
Crofton was selected again for the magazine's 2011 list, this time placing 82nd.
Community life frequently revolves around Crofton Parkway, actually a scenic loop 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, tangentially touching the larger "triangle" made up of three nearby roads, which encloses the original Crofton community. Crofton Parkway is the scene of yearly parades, two of the community's five elementary schools, the Town Hall, Village Green, community events, Crofton Country Club, and walkers, joggers and bikers around the loop. The Crofton area now extends North from the triangle, including Crofton Park. Crofton also has a community pool, the Crofton Swim and Tennis Club [CSTC] but is restricted to those inhabitants of the triangle.
In 1963, after the Crawford Corporation accumulated over 1600 acre (647.5 ha) of land, it announced that it would build a new community called Crofton. This new town and planned community was founded at the same time as Reston, Virginia
(April 17, 1964) and Columbia, Maryland
(1967). Crofton would be anchored by a community golf course, which later became the Crofton Country Club. Crofton was officially founded in the fall of 1964. The company considered picking an English name for the new town that "sounds well and implies that this is a pleasant place to live." It ended up picking the name "Crofton," named after a small township in Cumberland
County, England. The English town was originally called Croft-town, derived from the word Croft
, as the town standing upon the Crofts. Originally an exclusive gated community, Crofton's gates were opened and they now only serve as a symbol for this community just off Route 3
.

Crofton was in the national news in late June and early July 2002 after a northern
snakehead was discovered in a pond behind the Crofton post office (not the local landmark Lake Louise, but instead across Route 3 from it).
The snakehead species, which is highly aggressive, voracious, and can walk short distances on land, came from a live Asian food market, where the fish is a delicacy. In order to ensure that the fish were eliminated, the pond was dosed heavily with rotenone
, and subsequently with potassium permanganate
(September 17, 2002). Six adult snakeheads and more than one thousand juvenile fish were found and destroyed.
Ultimately, the incident initiated a national discussion on invasive species
and comparisons with the mute swan
, also an invasive and destructive species of the Chesapeake Bay
watershed but, in comparison, quite beautiful, and which garnered support from some environmental and animal rights groups.
There have been several movies inspired by this incident. The SciFi Network
has aired two movies in relation to the snakehead outbreak. In March 2004, a movie called Snakehead Terror
was featured, and in June 2004, the movie Frankenfish
was aired. There has also been a movie produced by Ten Pound Films titled Swarm of the Snakehead
which related to this incident.
In 2007, a documentary on the National Geographic channel titled Fishzilla: Snakehead Invasion aired that discussed the ecological damage that the snakeheads found in Crofton have done to surrounding areas.
