FREDERICK COUNTY TOWNS \\
WALKERSVILLE
Walkersville is a combination of two villages that were settled by German immigrants in the mid 1700s and early 1800s . By the late 1800s , the villages of Georgetown and Walkersville had grown so intertwined that it made sense to combine them into one entity , which was named Walkersville . Today , Walkersville aggressively pursues fiscal responsibility , recycling projects , and innovation . In 1995 , it was credited with having the first State Police bicycle patrol in the nation . There are four schools , residential developments , a shopping center , several businesses and institutions , and numerous restaurants in the town . Walkersville has managed a rapid population growth wisely , enabling it to maintain a friendly , small-town atmosphere .
