Originally named Beantown, the name was changed in 1880 to Waldorf in honor of William Waldorf Astor, great-grandson of John Jacob Astor. [1]

Waldorf has modern houses with wide, well-kept lawns. It developed after 1870 as a trading and shipping center of tobacco growers, but now serves chiefly as a shopping center for Washington workers who have moved into the county to escape the Capital's high rents.
