    Not true at all. Perhaps according to the postal service, but they are only an authority on zip codes, not on town place names (USGS via the US Board on Geographic Names is the authority.) From a 2003 Md. Historic Trust description, "Woodwardville is a small, unincorporated rural community situated in western Anne Arundel County, containing 27 structures, 16 of which are historic. Most are located adjacent to Patuxent Road, which runs through the center of the village. Woodwardville features several public or commercial buildings including a church, a former schoolhouse, the ruins of a store and storage or service buildings associated with the railroad. ....In recent years, due to its close proximity to commuter rail service, Woodwardville has evolved into a bedroom community for persons working in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore." http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/NR/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=1433&FROM=NRMapAN.html
