Maintaining a true sense of community is vital as we move farther into the 21st
century. And nowhere is the opportunity to be part of a community more
appealing than in Howard County, Maryland. Ellicott City enjoys a rich and
varied history, from its origin as the tiny trade center of "Ellicott's Mills" to the
present seat of rapidly urbanizing Howard County.
Three Quaker brothers, John, Andrew, and Joseph Ellicott, of Bucks County,
Pennsylvania, chose this picturesque wilderness to establish a flour mill in 1772,
four years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. The brothers
helped revolutionize farming in Maryland by persuading farmers to plant wheat
instead of tobacco and by introducing fertilizer to revitalize the depleted soil. In
1830, Ellicott's Mills became the first terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad outside Baltimore. The old station, which stands today as a museum, has
been designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of
the Interior.
The Ellicotts made significant contributions to the area and the era. They built
roads, bridges and a wharf in Baltimore, introduced the wagon brake and plaster
as a fertilizer, erected iron works, a furnace, rolling mills, schools, a meeting house,
stores and houses made from beautiful granite.
In 1791, Andrew Ellicott was commissioned to survey the boundaries for the
nation's new capital, Washington, DC. He was joined by a free black man and
family friend named Benjamin Banneker. Banneker worked closely with the city
designer, L'Enfant. When the Frenchman abandoned the project and returned
home, Banneker was able to recreate the designer's plans from memory.
By 1861, Ellicott's Mills was a prosperous farming and manufacturing area, and
the site of the courthouse, which was built from 1840–1843 when the Howard
District of Anne Arundel County was so designated in 1839. Howard County
became an official independent jurisdiction in 1851. In 1867, a city charter was
secured for Ellicott's Mills and the name was changed to "Ellicott City."
Ellicott City's Charter was surrendered in 1935 and its Main Street has
experienced a gradual change in character from a mixed commercial and
residential area to an almost entirely commercial area today. The boundaries of
the town were reestablished in 1973 and designated a "Historic District" to
preserve and encourage restoration of its old structures.
The community of Patuxent Chase will carry on the tradition of a beautifully
landscaped crossroads community. Patuxent Chase is conveniently located in
Howard County, Maryland, with easy access to both Baltimore, MD, and
Washington, DC.
