5 P R O F I L E Maintaining a true sense of community is vital as we move farther into the 21st century. And nowhere is the opportunity to be part of a community more appealing than in Howard County, Maryland. Ellicott City enjoys a rich and varied history, from its origin as the tiny trade center of "Ellicott's Mills" to the present seat of rapidly urbanizing Howard County. Three Quaker brothers, John, Andrew, and Joseph Ellicott, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, chose this picturesque wilderness to establish a flour mill in 1772, four years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. The brothers helped revolutionize farming in Maryland by persuading farmers to plant wheat instead of tobacco and by introducing fertilizer to revitalize the depleted soil. In 1830, Ellicott's Mills became the first terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad outside Baltimore. The old station, which stands today as a museum, has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The Ellicotts made significant contributions to the area and the era. They built roads, bridges and a wharf in Baltimore, introduced the wagon brake and plaster as a fertilizer, erected iron works, a furnace, rolling mills, schools, a meeting house, stores and houses made from beautiful granite. In 1791, Andrew Ellicott was commissioned to survey the boundaries for the nation's new capital, Washington, DC. He was joined by a free black man and family friend named Benjamin Banneker. Banneker worked closely with the city designer, L'Enfant. When the Frenchman abandoned the project and returned home, Banneker was able to recreate the designer's plans from memory. By 1861, Ellicott's Mills was a prosperous farming and manufacturing area, and the site of the courthouse, which was built from when the Howard District of Anne Arundel County was so designated in Howard County became an official independent jurisdiction in In 1867, a city charter was secured for Ellicott's Mills and the name was changed to "Ellicott City." Ellicott City's Charter was surrendered in 1935 and its Main Street has experienced a gradual change in character from a mixed commercial and residential area to an almost entirely commercial area today. The boundaries of the town were reestablished in 1973 and designated a "Historic District" to preserve and encourage restoration of its old structures. The community of Patuxent Chase will carry on the tradition of a beautifully landscaped crossroads community. Patuxent Chase is conveniently located in Howard County, Maryland, with easy access to both Baltimore, MD, and Washington, DC. HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Patuxent Chase Homeowner s Association, Inc. 1
