Since 1998 - Historical and Genealogical Resources
for the Upper New River Valley of North Carolina and Virginia
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, having an area of 508 square miles, Is bounded -on the south-west by Virginia, on the north-west by Frederick County, on the north-east by the Patuxent River which separates it from Howard County, and on the south-east by Prince George's County and the District of Columbia.
Large quarries of sandstone are opened near the mouth of Seneca Creek, of which the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington, is built, and also a marble quarry near the Potomac above Poolesville. A quarry of excellent roofing slate has been opened near Hyattstown. Other varieties of building stones exist but are not yet developed to any extent. Several gold mines are being worked In the northern part of the county and near the Great Falls of Potomac. Also chrome ore has been largely extracted from the central part of the county.
The surface of the county is mostly hmy, and gives rise to many branches and creeks, which possess some of the finest water-powers, this being, in fact, one of the features of this county, most of the streams having very considerable fall in but a short distance. The Great Falls of the Potomac-belongs to Montgomery County, and constitutes perhaps the grandest available water-power in the Union. These water-powers are partly improved with a number of large flour and grist and saw mills. The soil varies greatly, the western or upper part of the county being a finely cultivated and fertile region, whilst the more northern part although more thickly settled, is a thinner and poorer soil. The eastern section, near to Howard and Prince George's Counties, is mostly a light sandy, with some clay land, and exhibits, In its vast improvements about Sandy Spring, what may be accomplished by industrious skillful tillage. These lands, which were formerly almost a wilderness, with a value of two or three dollars per acre, have become an excellent farming district, and worth $30 an acre and more. This county binds the District of Columbia on the north-west and partly on the north-east, and from its proximity to Washington, (which is one of the best markets,) is being cultivated considerably in market farms. Its elevated and very healthy character is attracting many persons to locate country seats. The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal runs along its entire southwestern border, and the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, from near the "Point of Rocks" to Washington, through the centre of the county, affording convenient access to nearly all parts.
The productions are wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, tobacco, hay, wool, honey, butter and live-stock.
