The legislative and executive branches of the county government are administered by the Board of County Commissioners, also known as the Commissioners of St. Mary's County. The Board of County Commissioners consists of five members who are elected to four-year terms. The Council President is elected at large by voters of the entire County, while the remaining members are each elected by the voters in their respective commissioner districts.
In 1634, a group of courageous voyagers traveled from their homes in England in pursuit of a new land. They landed on an island in the Potomac River with a prayer of thanks for their safe journey. St. Clement's Island is a landmark in the history of Maryland. It was here the adventurers took possession of the colony and the first Roman Catholic Mass in the English speaking colonies was offered.
Today, St. Mary's County is home to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Major tenant commands include the Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters (NAVAIR), Naval Air Warfare Center-Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), and many other tenant activities known as leaders in aviation and advanced technology.
