Gambrills refers to two neighboring places in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, in the Baltimore metro area: the unincorporated community of Gambrills, and the Gambrills census-designated place (CDP). The original community of Gambrills is now part of the Odenton CDP, while the Gambrills CDP lies to the northeast of the original community. The area was named for Augustine Gambrill, plantation owner. The population of the CDP was 2,800 at the 2010 census,[1] up from 1,759 in 2000. The community is very far away from major population centers, making commutes difficult and unpredictable.
