Hampton Inn & Suites • Cumberland, Maryland • Feasibility Study Page C-1 History Cumberland is named after the son of King George II, Prince William, the Duke of Cumberland. It is built on the site of the old Fort Cumberland, the starting point for British General Edward Braddock's ill-fated attack on the French stronghold of Fort Duquesne (located on the site of present-day Pittsburgh) during the French and Indian War. Cumberland was also an outpost of Colonel George Washington during the French and Indian War and his first military headquarters was built here. Washington later returned to Cumberland as President in 1794 to review troops that had been assembled to thwart the Whiskey Rebellion. Cumberland was a key road, railroad and canal junction during the 19th century and at one time the second largest city in Maryland (second to the port city of Baltimore — hence its nickname "The Queen City"). -

How Baltimore Became the New York of the South: European Immigration Between 1867-1914 and the Development of Ethnic Neighborhoods Around the Port of Baltimore
HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Ron Cassie Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 15, 2016 HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE Ron Cassie, MA Mentor: Charles Edward Yonkers, JD ABSTRACT Located 40 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Baltimore was the fourth – largest city in the U.S. and the largest in the South before the Civil War, serving as the economic hub of the Mid-Atlantic region. Although Baltimore was always home to a significant free black population, the city was centered in a largely slave-holding state. Although Maryland choose neither Union or Confederate sides during the Civil War before President Abraham Lincoln sent federal troops into Baltimore, the city’s port business in the middle of the 19th century focused on the rural exports of tobacco, cotton, grain, and flour; ship building; and the importation of sugar. Politically, economically, and culturally, Maryland was, at the time, a Southern state full of plantations from the Eastern Shore across the state’s central area around Baltimore. The city, however, was more a blend of white Southern and white Northern influences, a marginalized African-American citizenry, a significant group of German immigrants, and more recent Irish arrivals at the start of the Civil War. -
Georges Creek Watershed Restoration Action Strategies Plan
GG EE OO RR GG EE SS CC RR EE EE KK Watershed Restoration Action Strategies P L A N June 2002 IDEAS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW. Georges Creek Watershed Restoration Action Strategies Plan This plan was developed through a cooperative effort of federal, state, and local agencies, non-profit organizations, and the citizens of the Georges Creek Watershed. This project has been funded in part by a Section 319 Clean Water Act Grant from the U. S. EP A. Although, the EP A funds this Program, the contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the EPA. Special thanks are extended to the members of the Georges Creek Watershed Association who donated their time and ideas to this planning effort. Abstract The Georges Creek Watershed Restoration Action Strategies Plan has been developed by a steering committee comprised of representatives from both the public and private sector. This plan is intended to serve local decision-makers as a guide to planning, developing, and implementing comprehensive meaningful restoration projects that are a part of a larger watershed-wide approach. Listed within this plan are twelve problem categories divided into two large groups; water quality, and water quantity. Each problem category contains a brief problem description, associated data, and action examples. In the last section of this plan “What Steps Do We Take To Get There?” the Action Plan can be found. This Action Plan details next step items for the community to engage in. This section of the plan provided action items that the community can engage in making their vision of the Georges Creek Watershed a reality. -
