La Plata, Maryland, the county seat of Charles County. The city was just a crossroads in an oak forest until the Pennsylvania Railroad was given the land it needed to build their railroad in 1869. The town was given its own stop labeled "La Plata Station." Nearby Smallwood State Park also offers hiking and picnicking. The area offers a rich wildlife, acres of wonderful woodland, miles of shoreline, and plenty of historical landmarks to keep residents entertained in their free time.
