The History of College Park, Maryland

College Park has been around for a while, but it really took off because of the University of Maryland. The town started developing in the late 1800s, mostly as a small community around the Maryland Agricultural College, which later became the university. Over time, more businesses, homes, and schools popped up, shaping the area into what it is today. Aviation played a big role in its history, too—the College Park Airport is actually the oldest continuously operating airport in the world. The city saw a lot of growth after World War II, thanks to the expansion of the university and the rise of suburban living. Today, it’s a mix of students, longtime residents, and professionals, all benefiting from its location just outside Washington, D.C.

XFINITY Center in College Park, MD

If you’re into basketball, concerts, or big events, the XFINITY Center is the place to be. It’s home to Maryland Terrapins basketball, and on game days, the energy is unreal. Fans pack the arena, decked out in red, cheering loud enough to shake the building. The student section, known as The Wall, makes it even rowdier. But it’s not just about sports—concerts, graduations, and other events keep the place busy year-round. The arena itself is modern, with good seating and solid views from most spots. Parking can be a hassle, especially when there’s a big event, so getting there early helps. If you’re a student, you’ll probably end up here at some point, whether for a game, a show, or just to check out the buzz.

Two Internationally Recognized Mathematicians Join The University Of Maryland

Bringing in mathematicians like Uri Bader and Ron Peled is a big win for UMD. These are experts at the top of their fields, and their presence is only going to strengthen the university’s math department. Bader’s work across different areas of mathematics shows how interconnected the subject really is, while Peled’s research in probability and statistical physics tackles fundamental questions about the world around us. It’s exciting to see UMD investing in talent like this, and the Brin Professorships clearly played a key role in making it happen. Beyond their research, they’ll have a huge impact on students—both by inspiring future mathematicians and by making high-level concepts more accessible. Attracting this level of talent shows that UMD is serious about climbing even higher in the rankings.
