During the U.S. Industrial Revolution, the arrival of the railroad provided new economic opportunities for rural towns scattered across Western Maryland. As a result, towns experienced economic and population growth. The railroad provided towns people and local farmers a new means of transportation for pleasure and economic pursuits. Within these rural towns, the formation of large commercial factories provided new employment opportunities and opened the door for small entrepreneurial businesses.
