Richard Snowden (1688–1763) was the grandson of Richard Snowden Sr (1640–1711), one of Maryland's early colonists, who arrived in 1658. Snowden founded the Patuxent Iron Works, on the site of Maryland's oldest iron forge. He (with others) thus founded one of Maryland's first industries, and settled the land now known as Laurel and Sandy Spring, Maryland.
