Glenelg, MD is a rural and upscale community of about 1,700 residents that is located in Howard County (zip code: 21737). The median household income of Glenelg is over $114,000 and is well beyond that of the Maryland median number. Likewise, the median home price in 2007 was over $1 Million, indicating that it truly is one of Maryland's exclusive communities. The history of Glenelg dates back to the early 18th century, when John Dorsey gave a large tract of land to his daughter, Sarah Dorsey Howard and her husband Henry Howard. The town eventually took it's name from an old estate in Scotland, and was so named by General Tyson, who served as postmaster general under U.S. president Tyler. The originally house in Glenelg was built by Ephraim Howard, son of Sarah and Henry, and was added onto in 1884. As one might expect, real estate in Glenelg is fairly homogenous. There are several old properties located in the area that date back to the late 18th century, but most Glenelg homes are newly-constructed, similar to one another in nature and size and, as a rule, quite large. Homes under 3,000 square feet are rare and many more exceed 5,000 square feet. The lots on which thse homes are built are typically quite large as well, generally over one acre and sometimes much more than that.
