WALKERSVILLE WOODSBORO
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. Early history suggests that the Woodsboro area was a hunting and trapping ground for
a wandering tribe of Susquehanna Indians. From early times, the settlement was located
at a crossroads on the Indian trail running from the Chesapeake Bay to the mountains.
When the stagecoach became the primary mode of transportation, the place became
an important stop on its itinerary. Today, Woodsboro is still primarily an agricultural area,
but an important industry is centered on the three lime quarries that border the town.
