BRIEF HISTORY

     Baltimore County is a county located in the northern part of the U.S. state of Maryland. Its county seat since 1854 has been Towson. The name of the county was derived from the barony of the Proprietor of the Maryland colony, Cζcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, and the town of "Baltimore" in County Longford, Ireland. Baltimore County no longer includes the City of Baltimore (Port established - 1706, Town founded - 1729, became "county seat" of Baltimore County - 1767, Incorporated as City - 1797, Annexed territory from County on west, north and east sides in 1818 and 1888, Left County to become an independent city in 1851, Last Annexation of land from Baltimore County on west, north, and east; and south from Anne Arundel County in 1919).

     Much of Baltimore County is suburban in character, straddling the border between the Piedmont plateau and, in the southern regions of the county, the Atlantic coastal plain. Northern Baltimore County is primarily rural, with a landscape of rolling hills and deciduous forests characteristic of the Southeastern mixed forests.
