Calvert County was once made up primarily of farms and tobacco fields, but now the county has become a fast-growing exurban neighbor of Washington D.C. Many home prices have nearly quadrupled in the past decade, with many four-bedroom homes in the northern half of the county averaging over $1,000,000. There are three popular weekend resort towns in Calvert County; Solomons, Chesapeake Beach, and North Beach.

The county is a treasure store of properties on the National Register of Historic Places.
