Fact text
- Towson is the second-most populous unincorporated county seat in the entire United States, a big deal for a place that technically doesn't exist as its own city.
- Back in 1790, the Hampton Mansion just north of Towson was completed as the largest private house in all of America.
- Towson University started life in 1865 as Maryland's very first teacher-training school, eventually settling on its current name after a string of name changes, in 1997.
