Glassmanor is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States.[2] As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 18,430.[3] In the 1990 and 2000 censuses, the United States Census Bureau had placed Glassmanor and the adjacent community of Oxon Hill in the "Oxon Hill-Glassmanor" census-designated place for statistical purposes. Glassmanor was last delineated separately in 1980, when the CDP recorded a population of 7,751.[4]
The original Glassmanor apartments were built circa 1950 by the Glassman company, just outside the border of southeast Washington.[citation needed] In the mid-1950s, the Eastover shopping center was built across the highway, followed by other adjoining apartment projects in the 1960s. U.S. Senator George McGovern, who was the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in 1972, lived briefly in Glassmanor while a freshman congressman.[5] The area has undergone tremendous demographic and social changes since that time.
