Happy Birthday Catonsville!!

On April 23, 1810, Samuel Turner a surveyor, file the break up of the "Old Baltimore Company". This was a company founded from a land grant from the King of England in the mid 1600's. Charles Carroll of Carrollton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, had inherited his shares of this company from his father. Charles immediately turned over the management of the land plots he received to his son-in-law, Richard Caton. This land plots were along Frederick Road. Richard Caton immediately called these lands Catonville. The "s" was added to the name in the early 1900's by the Post Office.
