Hampden

Maryland stadium area

Hampden is a place name appearing across the English-speaking world, most notably as neighborhoods in Baltimore and Denver, and as a county in Massachusetts.

The name traces to John Hampden, a 17th-century English parliamentarian who resisted royal taxation and became a symbol of resistance to tyranny—which is why American places bear his name.
