All About Ellicott City, MD

Once branded "The Town That Wouldn't Budge,"Ellicott City began from its humble origins in 1772 as a small trade center for the Ellicott brothers' flour mill, the Ellicott Mill. The brothers' mill eventually prospered and led Ellicott City to become one of the largest milling and manufacturing towns in the original colonies. Centuries later, Ellicott City has become a suburban haven in Maryland as residents of Baltimore have moved westward over the past 50 years.

The Ellicott City Region of Howard County encompasses an area from the historic county seat of Ellicott City located on the eastern edge of the County, west along Interstate 70 to the towns of Marriottsville and Woodstock. Ellicott City's Main Street is lined with shops and businesses similar to those that first operated in the old mill town, making it a destination for antique, art and furniture shoppers, as well as thousands of day trippers every year. It is anchored by the oldest railroad station in America, which is now home to the renowned B&O Railroad Museum, and much of the Patapsco State Park. Just a few minutes west and north of the town are dozens of wonderful subdivisions that have been developed over the past 50 years, along with the retail and service amenities that line Route 40, the original Baltimore National Pike. Just another couple of miles west are several new developments in the Ellicott City Region, including sought-after Waverly Woods with its balance of housing options, pool, golf club and shopping conveniences. The 7,000 plus acre Centennial Park is also right around the corner from all of the homes in this region.

The balance of the historic town, the stable subdivisions and the new developments offer a huge range of lifestyles for everyone.
