Raljon, Maryland was a place name used from 1997 to 1999 for the area of Landover, Maryland, around Jack Kent Cooke Stadium (now called FedEx Field), where the Washington Redskins play.
Former Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke derived the name from the names of his sons, Ralph and John.[1] Introduced to almost universal derision, the name enjoyed almost no currency beyond the Redskins and the United States Postal Service, which formally recognized the name.
Tony Kornheiser famously said "Lucky for us, Cooke didn't name his kids Peter and Ennis."[2]
Daniel Snyder discontinued the use of the name in 1999, when he bought the Redskins. As of 2005, the Redskins' official Web site recognizes that FedExField is in Landover.
