  • Read Kendall W. Gambrill's History of Highland
    History of Highland Kendall W.Gambrill History of Maryland January 19, 1965 here is nothing altogether earth shattering about Highland. T Neither is there any momentous event in its history. The fate of no army was decided by where Josh Disney emptied his chamber pot. No government fell when Mrs. Dentz sang out her hymn on A windy March morning. Yet, the events alluded to and the many Others which, added to them, make the history of Highland are Worthy of being recorded. History is the story of man. The History of Highland is a tale taken from that story. There are two elements to this history. One is the physical Setting, and the other is the people associated with that setting. Highland is located North 39° 11’, West 76° 57’. To the south Lies the Patuxent river. Highland extends several miles north- East of the Patuxent for about three miles along its length. There being no official boundaries, one is left with determining For oneself just where Highland ends and some other community begins. The land is in the gently rolling lower Piedmont. As the most conspicuous topographical feature of the area, The Patuxent river attracted the attention of the first of our Species in the area - the Indians. The Indians gave it the name It now holds. In their tongue the name means “Small Descending Waters”.1 Although these Indians, the Piscataways, lived in Southern Maryland, it is evident that they were familiar with The length of the Patuxent valley by the name they gave to this river.
