Raljon, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raljon, Maryland was a place name used from 1997 to 1999 for the area of Landover, Maryland around Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, where the Washington Redskins play.
Jack Kent Cooke derived the name from the names of his sons, Ralph and John. Introduced to almost universal derision, the name enjoyed almost no currency beyond the Redskins and the United States Postal Service, which used to recognize the name.
Daniel Snyder discontinued the use of the name in 1999, when he bought the Redskins. As of 2005, even the Redskins' own official Web site recognizes that FedExField is in Landover.
