History of Carney

The community of Carney, MD, was named after Thomas Carney. Thomas Carney was an Irish immigrant who immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Texas, MD, in 1880. After he married Mary DcDermot, they bought 40.5 acres of land on the southeast side of the Baltimore and Harford Turnpike. In 1885, Thomas Carney opened a general store called the Eight Mile House, on Harford Rd. and Joppa Rd., and moved his family there. In 1898, he built another home for his family on Thornewood Ct. located on the hill behind the store. These locations now stand as The Barn Restaurant and a real estate office, respectively. Because of Carney's influences on the community, many clubs, businesses and institutions still carry his name. Learn more about
