History of MD 382, Croom Road.
In addition to the existing section of MD 382 in Prince George’s County, there was a continuation of the state highway in Charles County west to near Waldorf.[3] The Croom Road portion of the highway was started in 1924 from MD 3 (now US 301) and completed beyond the Pope’s Creek Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad to near Mount Calvert Road in 1924 and 1925.[4] MD 382 was extended south to about Croom Airport Road north of Croom in 1926 and 1927.[4][5] The extension of the highway south to Candy Hill Road at Naylor was started in 1930.[6] MD 382 was completed to just south of Rock Creek in 1932.[7][8] Part of the Charles County segment of MD 382 was constructed as MD 233.[9] MD 233 was built from Beantown southeast of Waldorf at the modern intersection of MD 5 and MD 5 Business east along Poplar Hill Road to a point west of Zekiah Swamp in 1926 and 1927.[4][5] The highway was extended east to Dr. Samuel Mudd Road, then continued along that road to Bryantown Road, which became MD 232, in 1928.[9][10] MD 233 construction continued along Woodville Road, paralleling Poplar Hill Road to the south. The highway was completed to the Washington, Brandywine and Point Lookout Railroad (now the Herbert Subdivision of the Pope’s Creek Subdivision) at Gallant Green in 1929.[6][11] MD 233 was extended to County Line Creek in two sections between 1930 and 1933.[6][7][8]
MD 382 was extended south from Rock Creek to MD 381 in 1955.[12] In 1956, the state highway was extended west from MD 381 to County Line Creek and west along Covington Road and Poplar Hill Road to MD 5 at Beantown. MD 382 took over the portion of MD 233 from Dr. Samuel Mudd Road to Beantown, Dr. Samuel Mudd Road became a northward extension of MD 232, and the Woodville Road portion of MD 233 was transferred to Charles County.[3] The portion of MD 382 in Charles County except from MD 5 to MattawomanâBeantown Road was transferred to county maintenance in 1989.[13] That segment at the western end became the southern end of MD 205, which was assigned at the same time along Mattawoman-Beantown Road north to US 301.[13] The southern end of MD 205 was relocated and reconstructed as a divided highway as MD 5’s new bypass of Waldorf in 1997.[14] A bypassed portion of Poplar Hill Road at the old intersection between Poplar Hill Road and MattawomanâBeantown Road became MD 382F by 1999.[15]
