Western Howard County's business picture
West of Columbia and Clarksville, Howard County turns rural. Communities such as Glenwood, Woodbine, Cooksville, Lisbon, Dayton, Marriottsville, West Friendship and Glenelg sit along MD 97, MD 32, MD 144 and I-70, among farms, equestrian properties and large-lot homes. They're small: Lisbon had just 282 residents in the 2020 census. The Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship are a reminder of the area's agricultural roots.
Businesses here are more likely to be home-based, farm-based or craft-based, and customers are spread out. Selling online is often the most practical way to grow, but it comes with specific rules. Food, topical and some other categories need approvals or extra compliance on Amazon.
