Two Johns, is an unincorporated community on Maryland's Eastern Shore in Caroline County, Maryland, United States.[1] It is situated on Maryland Route 16. The name derives from an early resident who was a vaudeville actor, John Stewart Crossy. He toured with John Hart and a series of other girthy men as the "Two Johns" or the "Fat Men's Club" during the height of his popularity. The village appears on the 1897 Map of Caroline County.[2]
