the town of indian head was incorporated in 1920. it is located between the potomac river and mattawoman creek on mattawoman/cornwallis neck, named for the 1654 grant of by cecil calvert, 2nd baron baltimore, to capt. thomas cornwallis of st. mary's county. this land grant included the cornwallis manor on the potomac, presumably the indian head site, with st. elizabeth's manor of "nearby but detached". the town of indian head occupies land that was once part of the territory of the algonquin indians. the origin of the name indian head originates from the term "indian headlands", as the entire lower end of the peninsula was occupied by native americans and was an indian reservation. the name indian head first appears in the census of 1800. in 1850, the washington fruit growers association purchased a parcel of land, which included indian head and "glymont". charles pye offered for sale, a parcel of land (664 acres) known as glymont, on december 2, 1834. the same 664 acres was put up for sale again on july 22, 1843, after the death of charles pye. the two tracts land was purchased by the glymont improvement company and recorded on march 20, 1887. the land (540 acres) was owned by b.d. tubman and known as "glymont". the second tract called “cornwallis neck”, and sometimes known as “pye’s wharf estate” adjoin the lands of s. h. cox and r. a. chapman, the first-mentioned tract and others containing 480 acres of land, more or less. glymont, with pye's wharf and leonard marbury's wharf, were the largest river port in charles county. the name "indian head" applies to the land west of glymont. the name indian head first appears in the 1800 census and dates to the establishment of the powder factory.
