About Adamstown, Maryland
Adamstown is a community of 2,331 people in Frederick County, about 9 miles southwest of Frederick. It sits in the valley between Sugarloaf and Catoctin Mountain, on land that once belonged to Carrollton Manor, the 17,000-acre estate of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. In 1832 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad came through the manor and crossed the road that ran from Jefferson to Greenfield Mills, which made the crossing a good place to ship goods.
Around 1835 Dr. Meredith Davis, a Quaker miller, built a warehouse at the crossing to hold flour from his Greenfield Mills, so people first called the place Davis' Warehouse. In 1840 Adam Kohlenberg became the first B&O agent there, and the community took his first name. He also served as the first postmaster and kept a general store beside the tracks. Edward Hebb laid out lots north of the railroad in the 1840s, and in 1856 Daniel Rhoads laid out 12 building lots on the south side.
- The first settlerAdamstown's first settler was Robert Palmer, an African American who worked as a "post and railer." Around 1835, the same years Davis built his flour warehouse, Palmer also kept a general store here.
- Mosby's Rangers in 1864Close to the Potomac and Virginia, Adamstown sided almost entirely with the South. In the spring of 1861 a local secession militia, the Minute Men of Adamstown, led by three local doctors, raised a pole and flew the Confederate flag beside their guard post at the B&O tracks. Mosby's Rangers raided the town on July 30 and October 14, 1864, and on one raid they carried off Adam Kohlenberg's whole stock.
- Electric lights in 1921Jacob Klein's Addition of 1902 laid out three new streets: Washington, Adams and Tuscarora. Local people founded the Adamstown Bank in 1917, and it moved into its own building in 1919. By 1921 the Farmers Exchange of Frederick and Thomas & Co. each ran a large grain elevator here, beside a butcher shop, two garages, a carriage works, a blacksmith shop, a hardware store and a general store. That year the town's first electric lights came on.
- Aluminum for the nationIn the 1960s Alcoa built its Eastalco Works north of Adamstown. At its peak the plant covered 400 acres with more than 130 buildings and made about 8% of the country's aluminum. A steep rise in electricity prices shut it down in 2005, and its structures were razed in 2011. In December 2024 an early tenant broke ground on the site for Quantum Frederick, a data center campus.
