A Brief History of New Market, Maryland

On December 6, 1975, the U.S. Department of the Interior registered the town of New Market, Maryland as an Historic District. New Market is considered a fine example of a small town that is a complete unit.

New Market can trace its history back more than two full centuries. Founded and laid out in 1793 by William Plummer and Nicholas Hall, New Market thrived by serving travelers along the historic Old National Pike between Frederick and Baltimore.

Early in the 19th century, high-wheeled six-horse Conestoga wagons were frequent visitors to New Market as travelers made their way to the Ohio country and beyond. In those days, more than eight hotels and taverns lined Main Street. The town offered travelers a night's lodging for 25c and a glass of whisky for 5c. Behind the inns were barns and pens for resting livestock being driven to Baltimore Markets.

In addition to the hotels and taverns, wheelwrights and blacksmith shops were necessary and numerous. Industry was restricted to the needs of travelers and the local farming community. At one time, there was a tannery, button factory, shoe factory and wrought iron nail shop. All are gone today, but the old-time, small town flavor remains intact to welcome today's travelers.

The new millennium begins and the historic circle makes a full turn: today New Market, Maryland welcomes a new type of sturdy traveler and bold adventurer: the crafts collector and antiques hunter. Cars have replaced the Conestoga wagons and antique shops have replaced blacksmith and wheelwright shops. New Market now proudly boasts a fine restaurant, a bustling General Store, an art gallery, a cozy bed and breakfast and a tearoom along with more than 30 shops offering antiques to please even the most discriminating tastes.
