It is bordered on the east by Frederick County, Maryland and on the west by Allegany County, Maryland. Washington County is approximately 460 square miles in area. The County Seat, Hagerstown, is 70 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. Two major highways, Interstate 81 – running north and south, and Interstate 70 – running east and west, cross within the County’s borders. The major part of Washington County is fertile valley with rolling terrain. The lowland belt known as the Hagerstown Valley, which lies between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and the Appalachian ridges to the east, is an extension of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Washington County is a great place, not only for locating a business, but also for living and raising a family. The rural, friendly, community environment offers a taste of traditional values - and the close proximity to Baltimore and Washington DC offer access to metropolitan culture and lifestyle. It's the best of both worlds. Founded in 1776, the very year our country declared its independence, Washington County is laced with parks, monuments and museums that tell America's story spanning three centuries. Its thriving hub city, Hagerstown, founded in 1762, reaches into the future, offering residents the latest services, shopping and entertainment, from the acclaimed Maryland Symphony Orchestra to nightlife and festivals. Capital Improvement Plan 2013 - 2022 7 Washington County, Maryland Introduction Form of Government The County is a body corporate and politic, which performs all local governmental functions in Washington County except those performed by the nine incorporated municipalities within Washington County. The executive offices of the County are located at 100 West Washington Street, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740. Under the Code of the Public Local Laws of Washington County (1991 Edition), as amended, being Article 22 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland (the "County Code"), both the executive and legislative functions of the County are vested in the elected, five-member Board of County Commissioners of Washington County (the “Board”). The Board may only exercise such powers as are conferred upon it by the General Assembly of Maryland, including authorization to issue debt to finance its capital projects. Commissioners are elected on a countywide basis and serve four-year terms. Each member of the Board has one vote and a simple majority of the Board is sufficient to take action subject to the authority

  • A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State Of
    A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State of Maryland Robert C. Chidester Masters of Applied Anthropology Program Department of Anthropology University of Maryland at College Park Submitted to the Maryland Historical Trust In Partial Fulfillment of a Maryland Heritage Internship Grant December 2003 Revised Version, March 2004 Abstract This report presents a historic context for industrial labor in the state of Maryland. Industrial labor is defined as the socially-governed activity of transforming nature for the purpose of the efficient processing and manufacture of commercial goods. Labor’s heritage as represented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the Maryland Archaeological Site Records, and selected secondary sources is surveyed following the geographical and chronological guidelines presented in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Weissman 1986). Types of industry and labor, class relations, the labor movement and the social and domestic lives of industrial laborers are all considered; additionally, industrialization in Maryland is linked to other important themes in the state’s history. An overview of the archaeology of industrial labor is given for each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City, emphasizing important excavations. An analysis of the state of labor archaeology in Maryland is given, along with suggestions for important research themes that have been thus far unaddressed or poorly addressed by Maryland archaeologists. i Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................i
