Elkton is a small city and the county seat of Cecil County, Maryland, located in the United States of America. The city was formerly named Head of Elk, thanks to the Elk River passing by and more recently it was nicknamed Gretna Green of the West and the Elopement Capital of the East Coast, due to the high number of eloping couples that came here until a state law was given, asking for a 48 hours long waiting period. Elkton was settled in 1694 by Swedish living in the area and incorporated in 1787. Elkton has its share of famous people born or raised in the city: Austin Lane Chroters, governor of Maryland, Martha Finley, children's book author, drummer Bernard Purdie and U.S. army general Michael Rudolph.
