In the 20th century, Elkton established itself as a popular marriage destination. No waiting period was necessary to obtain a license, so love-struck couples flocked to the town to "tie the knot". Some of the more famous people to say "I do" in Cecil County include baseball greats Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, actors Burt Lahr and Joan Fontaine, basketball star Charles Barkley, and former US Attorney General John and Martha Mitchell.
