The history of Indian Head, Maryland, dates back to the indigenous peoples who occupied the land, including the Mattawoman tribe, a band of the Piscataway, who were encountered by the first English settlers. The name “Indian Head” is derived from “Indian Headlands,” as the entire lower end of the peninsula was occupied by Native Americans and was an Indian Reservation. The name first appears in the 1800 Census.
During the American Civil War, Union Brigadier General Joseph Hooker commanded the Third Brigade near Budd’s Ferry in August 1861. The site was a gathering spot for volunteers, including the 5th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry under Colonel Samuel H. Starr. The Union Army Balloon Corps also used the site for reconnaissance of troop movements across the Potomac.
The town of Indian Head was incorporated in 1920. It is located between the Potomac River and Mattawoman Creek on Mattawoman/Cornwallis Neck. The town’s early residents came in 1890 to work at the newly established Naval Proving Ground, which provided employment during the post-Civil War depression. The facility has undergone several name changes, reflecting its evolving mission, including the Naval Powder Factory, Naval Propellant Plant, Naval Ordnance Station, Indian Head Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, and Naval Support Facility - Indian Head.
The Naval Support Facility Indian Head has been the site of a naval base specializing in gun and rocket propellants since 1890. Production of nitrocellulose and smokeless powder began at the Indian Head Powder Factory in 1900. The facility’s main tenant activity is the Indian Head Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC/IH), where advanced research in energetic systems takes place.
Today Indian Head has a population that is roughly around 3,400 people. The community makes itself available to all social classes of people from locally owned and run affordable-and-stylish Section-8 housing ... to million dollar waterfront properties. The Town of Indian Head has amazing residents -and we often look out for each other. And one thing is for sure... we still wave to each other.

Indian Head is located just 30 miles South of Washington, DC in Charles County Maryland- making it not just a great place for Washingtonians to live, it is also a fantastic place to escape into the great outdoors. Transplants move to Indian Head due to our housing affordability and lower crime rates than the larger DC area communities. Commuters to Washington, DC may drive Piscataway Highway directly into DC. Or you may choose to take a commuter bus from Accokeek, La Plata, or Waldorf, MD.
We are anchored by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Indian Head Division and the United States Bomb Disposal Technician Association (USBTA) -the USBTA Bomb Disposal Technology and Training Center. NSWC is responsible for creating our munitions for the country. Supplies of the US's munitions are low, requiring the base to activate maximum production. This will create a plethora of jobs with multiple shifts operating 24/7. That's going to be a lot of foot traffic.
Our town and surrounding parks play host to various fishing competitions where anglers can catch a variety of fish species such as striped bass, channel catfish, and northern snakehead.
We have attracted new small businesses- and the NSWC is highly investing in our community. The base has begun moving parts of the base into our empty storefronts.
Our growth is imminent. And now is the time to move and invest within our community -before prices begin to skyrocket. We won't remain affordable for long. Water access communities are a hot commodity. And when you see our parks on the Potomac River and Mattawoman Creek, there is a very good chance that you will want to relocate here, too!
