Essington Hall was a plantation and historic house on Old Mount Oak Road in Mitchellville, Maryland that encompassed much of the area.[1] It was owned by John Mitchell, for whom the locality of Mitchellville was named.[1]
The house was destroyed by 1974 but the cemetery remains and is maintained by the city of Bowie, Maryland.[1]
