1871-1971
By 1860 the Western Maryland Railroad reached this site. In 1871 Dr. Charles A. Leas employed Augustus Bouldin, surveyor, to plan the town. The railroad and ideal climate encouraged the early development as a resort center with Victorian summer houses, boarding houses and campgrounds. Glyndon has now become primarily a residential community.Details
