Fact text

  • Maryland's legislature officially declared Catonsville 'Music City, Maryland' in 2002, thanks to its unusually dense cluster of music stores, venues, and schools.
  • Catonsville was one of the first commuter suburbs in the entire United States, born when electric streetcars made Baltimore's workers realize they could escape city summers.
  • A local road called Johnnycake Road has a much tastier name than its original title, Old Frederick Road, and now marks the town's northern boundary.
  • Rolling Road got its delightfully literal name from workers literally rolling giant barrels of tobacco along it toward the harbor.
