Nottingham is an unincorporated community located mostly in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States, to the northeast of Baltimore, Maryland but with a small portion in Baltimore. It is 8.9 square miles in area with an average elevation of 62feet (19m) and an estimated 2024 population of 39,514.[1] It was created in 1978 when the United States Postal Service split the Parkville (ZIP code 21234) postal zone into two parts due to rapid population growth in the area. The southeastern half of the Parkville postal zone was renamed Nottingham and was assigned the ZIP code 21236. Nottingham initially was served by the Parkville post office, but then it received its own post office which opened in November 1990.[2]
Nottingham is largely residential although it also contains a major regional shopping hub that includes White Marsh Mall and White Marsh Town Center. It is often considered a broad area, encompassing many census-designated places (CDPs) and unincorporated areas. There is also a historical town in Prince George's County that was named Nottingham - it is now an archeological site.
