HISTORY
John Arnold was a veteran of the War of 1812 who began a farm on 300 acres he acquired on the north side of the Severn River. From its beginning, Arnold MD has been deeply rooted in the independent principles of rural lifestyle: farming, freedom, friendship and faith.
Local historian, Alberta Stornetta, compiled a series of articles originally published in Anne Arundel County History Notes, the quarterly publication of the Anne Arundel County Historical Society and published a book on the history of Arnold: Arnold, Maryland and Neighbors on the Broadneck.
