A railroad town since 1868
Odenton grew up around a Baltimore and Potomac Railroad station built in 1868 and named for Oden Bowie, the railroad's president and a former governor of Maryland. MARC's Penn Line still stops there, and 42,947 people lived in Odenton at the 2020 census.
There's no masjid inside Odenton. The nearest is the Islamic Society of Annapolis's Makkah Learning Center on Brandy Farms Lane in Gambrills, about 2.3 miles away, where the society runs its maktab and weekend school. Its website doesn't post this year's times or fees.
Two miles is close for a weekend school. For weekday practice, classes at home save the extra trips.
Siblings an hour apart
Odenton Elementary and Piney Orchard Elementary let out at 2:25 this year, while Arundel Middle runs until 3:55, so brothers and sisters often get home more than an hour apart.
Each can have their own class time with the same teacher. Piney Orchard, one of Odenton's largest neighborhoods, even has its own ice arena, so plenty of afternoons here are already busy.
