Name
Plumb, Ben M.
Occupation
real estate developer
Biographical Text
In 1869, Plumb, a developer and speculator from Washington, D.C., and his associates purchased a 300-acre farm from Henry Carrick at the future juncture of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad and the spur line to Washington, D.C. In 1870, Plumb surveyed and platted a town of approximately one square mile. He offered building lots for sale, each of 2,500 square feet for $25. Several stores were constructed, lots were reserved for school and churches, two parks were laid out, and the railroad company began construction of depot, round house and machine shops. The station remained a busy stop until 1989, when it closed to make way for a new station at Bowie State University. The City of Bowie, in recognition of the station’s important role in its history, restored the buildings in the early 1990’s.
