| - Upper Marlboro is a town of over 600 people in southern Maryland, United States. Its surrounding area has about 20,000 people.
- Upper Marlboro is a town in and the county seat of Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The live-in population of the town core proper was only 648 at the 2000 census, although Greater Upper Marlboro is many times larger. Although the area has many rural, pastoral features, including horse farms, it is surrounded by encroaching housing developments and is the daytime county seat of Prince George's County, a large urban and suburban area of some 850,000 people adjacent to Washington, D.C. U.S. Highway 301 and Maryland Route 4 intersect at the edge of town. Major features of the town include the courthouse, jail, county office building, board of education, country club, a lake with walking path, an annual county fair, and a major annual antiques show. There is also the large Show Place Arena located at the former Marlboro racetrack grounds. This arena is used for events such as hockey games, circuses, rodeos, conventions, trade shows, and graduation ceremonies of many regional high schools, as well as daily overflow parking for county governmental employees, jurors, and visitors. In earlier times the town was a tobacco auction market, before tobacco farming nearly disappeared in Maryland. On November 3, 2004, a major fire badly damaged the roof and interior of the court house, which is still not fully rebuilt. Other than supermarkets, car dealers, and a new Home Depot, the town has only minimal shopping; therefore, residents must travel to Bowie, Clinton, Waldorf, or Forestville to find department stores. Upper Marlboro is convenient to employees commuting to Andrews Air Force Base and the Federal Census Bureau. Upper Marlboro is often mistaken for the unincorporated census-designated place of Greater Upper Marlboro, which surrounds the town with a population of nearly 20,000 in an area of 77 square miles (as designated by the post office) and which includes the very large Prince George's Community College some miles to the north.
