About Monrovia, Maryland
Monrovia is a community of 2,702 people in Frederick County, about a mile south of New Market along Bush Creek. In the 1820s the place went by Hall Towne, most likely for Nicholas Hall, one of New Market's founders. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad made it a station in 1831, serving nearby mills and passengers bound for New Market. A post office opened on January 15, 1833, and a water stop for the locomotives followed in 1840.
The Civil War reached the village more than once. In 1862, The New York Herald reported on September 16 that rebel cavalry had wrecked the post office and other federal property before falling back to New Market. After the Battle of Monocacy, Confederate troops looted the Monrovia General Store, which sold dry goods for decades. By 1880 no community in the New Market election district was bigger than Monrovia. Hard times came later: the Monrovia Central Trust Bank closed in 1929, and in the 1930s the town lost its biggest employer, a cannery, along with the Nicodemus Mill.
“In the child's hand was a small but very pretty American flag, which she was waving with all the ardor and enthusiasm of a youthful patriot. The men cheered until they were husky, and most of the officers, as they passed, took off their caps and saluted the national emblem.”
- A body in a barrelNobody knows when Monrovia got its name; it may honor President James Monroe. The Reverend Herbert Austin Cooper's 1997 account differs. Two local men failed in the 1848 California Gold Rush, then tried mines at Monrovia, Liberia, where one died. His body came home in a fish barrel of alcohol, around Cape Horn to Baltimore and by rail to the general store. The alcohol went into Bush Creek and Elder Walker led the funeral. Cooper believed this named the town.
- Bush Creek BrethrenAmong the area's Brethren congregations, only the Beaver Dam and Pipe Creek groups came before Bush Creek. Its members first worshiped in the woods or in private homes. In 1848 they built a wooden meetinghouse, the Pleasant Hill Church, on the same ground the church occupies today, and in 1907 a brick church took its place. David Rinehart and Howard Hillary were its first two ministers.
- The 75-80 DragwayThe 75-80 Dragway opened in 1960. It shut down on October 30, 2005, but the public outcry led to renovations starting in 2007, and racing returned on April 3, 2009. The track closed for good on September 28, 2013, to make way for houses. MotorWeek, which had tested cars there since 1982, kept filming on the remaining pavement into its 40th season in 2021 before moving to the Mason-Dixon Dragway in Boonsboro.
- A plan for a town centerA developer proposed Monrovia Town Center, with 930 single-family homes, 580 townhomes and stores. A revised plan cut the homes from 1,510 to 1,250, set half aside for residents 55 and older, and shrank the site from 457 to 392 acres.
- Residents took on a town centerNeighbors told the county planning commission that Monrovia Town Center would crowd roads and schools and change the area's rural character. The county commissioners rezoned the land in 2014, but Residents Against Landsdale Expansion sued and won in Frederick County Circuit Court in 2017. The ruling held on appeal in 2019 and again before Maryland's Court of Appeals in 2020.
