The Tricentennial ended in 1996. This site archives that history.
Prince George's County Celebrates 300
years of history 1696-1996
Welcome from Stephen DelGiudice
Before 1996 even arrives, countless hours will have been expended by
numbers of dedicated individuals making arrangements for Prince George's
County's Tricentennial Celebration. I want to take this opportunity to
thank those individuals who have helped plan the upcoming activities.
Indeed, their commitment and dedication to serve this county is the same
as the commitment, dedication and community spirit of Prince Georgians over
the past 300 years.
It's hard to imagine this county is 300 years old, but we have much to
celebrate about. We have grown from a rural agricultural community to
a community of modern technology, with a diversity that blends people
from all over the world.
I hope you and your family take the opportunity to celebrate our great
heritage by participating in the many events that have been scheduled
for the coming year.
Stephen DelGiudice
Chairman
Prince George's County Council
