General Information about Elkton

Elkton is a town in Cecil County, Maryland, United States. The population was 11,893 as of the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Cecil County[1]. It was formerly called Head of Elk because it marks the head of navigation on the Elk River, which flows into the nearby Chesapeake Bay.
Elkton was once known as the "Gretna Green of the West" because of its popularity as a place for eloping couples to marry until a state law was passed in 1938 requiring a 48-hour waiting period. Still, the town maintains several wedding chapels. Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller were married in the Main Street Chapel.
