A Brief History

Founded atop Braddock Mountain at an elevation of 950 feet, Braddock Heights has been a witness to pivotal moments in American history. From the strategic use of its mountain pass by British General Edward Braddock and Lt. Colonel George Washington during the French and Indian War to its role in the Civil War, the area is steeped in history. Its terrain, known for the scenic "Fairview Pass", played host to a minor cavalry battle between generals J.E.B. Stuart and Alfred Pleasonton in 1862.

A Community of Beauty and Inspiration

Braddock Heights is not just about its historical significance. It's a place of extraordinary beauty and inspiration. The stunning view of Frederick from "Fairview", at an elevation of 550 feet, once inspired Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. and influenced the Civil War poem "Barbara Fritchie" by John Greenleaf Whittier. The area's picturesque landscape continues to captivate visitors and residents alike.

Modern Living with Historical Charm

Today, Braddock Heights melds its historical charm with modern living. Established in 1896 as a summer resort community, it evolved into one of the first modern planned communities in the United States. With an array of custom houses, Braddock Heights offers eclectic living options with breathtaking views of the Monocacy and Middletown valleys.

From the historic Hagerstown & Frederick Railway, which once connected the community to Frederick and Middletown, to its evolution into an artisans' community, there is something for everyone.
