MD 208 connects the northwestern Prince George's County suburbs of Cottage City, Colmar Manor, Brentwood, and Hyattsville. The highway was built in the late 1910s and early 1920s and originally passed through Mount Rainier.

MD 208 was extended to MD 500 and removed from Mount Rainier in the late 1950s, and extended south through Cottage City around 1970.
