Bowie is located at the crossroads of Rt. 50 and Rt. 3/301, about halfway between Washington and Annapolis, with Baltimore to the North. This community has grown from a small agricultural and railroad town to one of the largest and fastest growing cities in Maryland.

Today's Bowie is a city of 16 square miles and approximately 50,000 residents. It has nearly 2,000 acres set aside as parks or open space. There are 72 ball fields, three community centers, an ice arena, a theatrical playhouse, a golf course, three museums and a minor league ballpark housing the Bowie Baysox. The City of Bowie is a dynamic, family-oriented community whose residents enjoy an exceptional quality of life. The City's motto of "Growth, Unity and Progress" provides a fitting description of this municipality at the start of a new century.
