Waldorf is an unincorporated community in Charles County, Maryland . The population was 22,311 at the 2000 census (but more realistically 70,000 - 75,000 - see note below). Waldorf began before 1900 as a rural crossroads with a train station and was called "Beantown" after a local family. Waldorf is now largely subsumed by the large planned community of St. Charles .
Waldorf has ZIP codes 20601, 20602, 20603, and 20604. A few farms on the Prince Georges County side also have Waldorf addresses.
Waldorf is either named after the town of Walldorf , Germany , or has a similar derivation: that is, either a German word meaning "forest village," or named after the Waldenses , a 12th Century religious sect. Once a tobacco market village, it came to prominence in the 1950s as a gambling destination after slot machines were legalized in Charles County in 1949. The boom lasted until 1968 when gambling was once again outlawed. Its subsequent substantial growth as a residential community began with a 1970 loan package from the Department of Housing and Urban Development which fueled the giant planned community of St. Charles, south of Waldorf's town center. Many sections of St. Charles are still being developed, including a 60 and above retirement home and many themed restaurants along the highly populated U.S. Route 301 . Hampshire, Lancaster, Dorchester, and Westlake Village are around the newest and most populated neighborhoods in this area. The original neighborhoods of St. Charles are Carrington, Bannister, Wakefield, Sentry Woods and Huntington.
Waldorf is predominantly a bedroom community for many residents who commute to work at other points in the Washington, D.C. , metropolitan area, especially personnel at Andrews Air Force Base . Waldorf's own jobs are primarily in the service and sales industry only. St. Charles Towne Centre, a major shopping mall, opened in the spring of 1990 and will be remodeled in 2007. St. Charles Towne Centre draws shoppers and diners from Maryland, parts of Washington, D.C. , and Northern Virginia, causing Waldorf to be called the "shopping capital of Southern Maryland ." Route 301 also boasts the "Waldorf Motor Mile," with car dealerships located primarily along the northbound side. In 2005, Waldorf opened its third public high school ("North Point"), which has advanced science/technology programs; the Capital Clubhouse 24-hour indoor sports complex and ice rink also opened that year. (See list of other schools below). In 2006, plans were announced to build two more shopping centers, including one with high-end stores and an attractive "lifestyle" town center design layout. Ground was also broken to build an office park with mid-rise office buildings near Western Parkway and Route 228 (Berry Road). Waldorf's volunteer fire department is the largest in Maryland.
