Morgantown is an unincorporated community in Charles County, Maryland.[1] It lies south of the Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge on the Potomac River at Lower Cedar Point. It is known for the Mirant Morgantown Generating Station smokestacks. In 2007, a controversial coal barge loading facility was under construction at the power plant on Popes Creek. Much later, the community had ferryboat service to Potomac Beach in Virginia before the present bridge opened in 1940.[2] Waverley was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[3]
