Woodmore

The area that is now Woodmore began its legacy in 1698, after Thomas Spriggs acquired 500 acres of what was then known as the forest of Prince George's County in the Crown Colony of Maryland. Kept in the family for several years, they later sold to the Bowie family. The Bowies, in turn, sold the property to the Walkers who ran a lumber business in Washington D.C., serving as the area’s first commuters. Slated for a grand opening in fall of 2008 is the Woodmore Towne Center. The Towne Center will include a variety of stores such as 140,000 square foot Wegmans grocery store, 700,000 square feet of retail shops, over 900 housing units, a conference center and two hotels. The Woodmore Towne Center will be located in Prince George’s County in Landover at the I-495 and Route 202 just north of the Largo Town Center, FedEx Field and Inglewood Business Park.
