Representative from the sixth district of Maryland, serving one term from 1861 to 1863, he was an early backer of the inventors of the telegraph, in 1856 he founded the Maryland Agricultural College, the first agricultural research college in America, now known as the University of Maryland. He was a direct descendant of the Lords Baltimore, proprietary governors of the Province of Maryland from 1631 until 1776. Calvert was born on August 1808 at his family's estate at Riversdale, Maryland, his mother was Rosalie Eugenia Stier, the daughter of a wealthy Flemish aristocrat, Baron Henri Joseph Stier and his wife Marie-Louise Peeters. The Stiers had fled to America in the late eighteenth century as French Republican armies occupied their hometown of Antwerp. Calvert's father, the wealthy planter George Calvert, was the son of the Loyalist politician Benedict Swingate Calvert – a natural son of the penultimate Proprietary Governor of Maryland, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore – and Benedict's wife Elizabeth Calvert.

Calvert completed his preparatory studies at Bladensburg Academy of Maryland. He received a certificate of completion from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville in 1827 though he attended the university spuriously, engaged in agricultural pursuits and stock breeding. Calvert inherited a plantation from his family, called Riverdale, he "introduced scientific agriculture to the plantation, adopted ideas published in journals and newspapers, exhibited at county and state fairs, introduced a number of his own innovations. He could implement these innovations because of the large number of slaves – as many as 55 in 1850 – at his command."Calvert was a strong backer of the inventors of the telegraph, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail. On April 9, 1844, Morse and Vail tested their device by transmitting a message from the nation's capital to the Calvert home, Riversdale; this test came 45 days before the more celebrated event when Morse sent the message "What hath God wrought?" from Washington to Baltimore, along telegraph lines that ran above the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line near Riversdale.
