County Seal |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Frederick County is
located in the western part of the U.S. state of Maryland,
bordering the southern border of Pennsylvania
and the northeastern border of Virginia. It is a part of the Washington-Baltimore
Metropolitan Area, and is often recognized as part of Western Maryland. The
county is home to Catoctin Mountain Park (encompassing the presidential retreat Camp David)
and to the U.S. Army's Fort Detrick. The county seat is Frederick, which was home to several
celebrated historical figures like Francis Scott Key. The county may have been
named for Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron
Baltimore. |
Frederick County was created
in 1748 from parts
of Prince George's County and Baltimore County. In 1776, Frederick
County was divided into three parts. The westernmost portion became Washington County, named after George
Washington, the easternmost portion became Montgomery County, named after
another Revolutionary War general, Richard Montgomery. The central portion
remained Frederick County. In 1837 a part of
Frederick County was combined with a part of Baltimore County to form Carroll County. |
