Well after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, tobacco remained Prince George's County's most important crop. Upper Marlboro, formed in 1706, and established as county seat in 1721, continued to be an important center for tobacco cultivation and distribution into the 1990s. The loose-leaf tobacco auction houses, once a mainstay of the Old Marlboro economy have now closed.
