HARFORD COUNTY HISTORY, INTERESTING FACTS to KNOW ABOUT MARYLAND

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Components - Fallston Maryland 616437

One of the interesting things I have found as a Real Estate Agent, REALTOR and Auctioneer in Harford County is finding out is was formed in 1773 by the splitting of Baltimore County. There are many homes and places of interest as you travel through this quiet county. One home you will find of interest is Tudor Hall which is the birthplace of John Wilkes Booth who assasinated Abraham Lincoln. This home was the site of a notorious Real Estate Auction that brought national attention to Harford County. It also hosted the signers of the Bush Declaration. This was the precursor document to the American Revolution.  As you search for Homes in Harford County, notice the vast rural countryside that is just minutes from suburban amenities and I-95.

Did you know that Harford County was named after Henry Harford. He was the illegitimate son of Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore. Henry Harford was the last Proprietary Governor of Maryland, but did not inherit his father's title because of his illegitimacy.

Another favorite town of mine is Havre de Grace, a beautiful city in Harford County. This small city was once under consideration to be the capital of the United States rather than Washington, D.C..  It was favored for it location on the Chesapeake Bay.  The waterways around Harford County are beautiful and compliments the wonderful homes you will find here.

Robert,

Sounds like an interesting place! I wonder how many times out-of-towners mistakenly say "Hartford County" instead of "Harford County?" In GA we have a Houston sounty that is actually pronounced "how-ston" county!
