History, History and More History

Having celebrated its 250th Anniversary in 1998, Frederick County has a colorful and well-preserved heritage.

From bio-technology to marketing research, breweries to chain restaurants, and, of course, antiques — business in Frederick County is booming. Frederick County is not only a great place to live, it is also an ideal place to create or relocate a business.

A Commuters Dream

Like any growing area, Frederick is experiencing traffic woes, but with the new downtown MARC Train Service it just got a whole lot better! Ant with the I-70 and I-270 major transportation arteries into Baltimore and Washington, DC, Frederick County is fast becoming a retreat for the weary commuter.

Medical - So Many Choices

Health care options are plentiful in Frederick County.
