RV rental Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Aberdeen Proving Ground (“APG”) is an army base next to Aberdeen, in Maryland. It was established in 1917 shortly after the U.S. had entered World War I. It is a census-designated place and was an alternative to Sandy Hook Proving Ground, which the military decided was too small for the larger weapons testing being conducted. Today it is a major employer in Harford County and an important military installation. The nearby city of Aberdeen started as a farming community in 1720, developing into a village around 1800. Aberdeen was incorporated as a town in 1892 and again as a city in 1992. It is also the home of a long list of professional athletes, a handful of notable politicians, and Frank Zappa, who lived there as a youth while his father worked at APG.
