About Marydel, MD

The town of Marydel was settled by Austro-Hungarian Catholic farmers around 1914, around the time that Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to plunge Europe into World War I, and some immigrants from that area came to the United States. In recent times, beginning in the 1990s, the town became home to a large community of Hispanic immigrants of Guatemalan descent. The majority of these Guatemalan immigrants came from an agricultural, rural, mountainous regions in Guatemala, making them feel at home in rural, agricultural (though not mountainous) Caroline County. This community is primarily Spanish speaking, with some of the Guatemalan Mam dialect mixed-in. Many of Marydel's Guatemalans have become permanent residents and American citizens.
