Elkton, MD

united states

Elkton sits along I-95 in northeastern Maryland, about 45 minutes from Baltimore and an hour from Philadelphia. This former "Elopement Capital of the East Coast" drew couples seeking quick marriages in the early 1900s due to Maryland's relaxed wedding laws. Today it's a convenient stop on the Northeast Corridor with easy access via Exit 109 and connections to Route 40 heading toward the Chesapeake Bay.
