Linthicum – Linthicum Heights, according to the U.S. Postal Services – was established in 1801 after Abner Linthicum purchased land in the area of present-day Linthicum Heights. However, the community didn't start developing until the founding of "Linthicum Heights Company" in 1908. Currently, Linthicum Heights is a census-designated place (CDP) in Anne Arundel County, Maryland located near the town of Glen Burnie.
