Pond Feature
The Town of New Market has been relatively unspoiled by the passage of time, remaining much as it was in its beginning, a small drover’s town
built to service the many travelers going to and from the Baltimore markets. It is in appearance the quintessence of the circa 1800 small town in western central Maryland. It is well-preserved and shows more original fabric and a more representative development from the Federal
into the Greek Revival and Victorian periods than other towns in the area. Its Federal style buildings are well-executed, showing the high level of craftsmanship attainable at the time.
Western Maryland towns such as New Market are different from towns in the Tidewater region in several respects: (1) an economy based on overland-commerce rather than on water transportation, (2) the linear layout along a single street instead of a pattern of several streets, and
(3) the difference in building design and proportion in the two regions. New Market had its beginning when land grants from Lord Baltimore were given to John Dorsey and Samuel Plummer in 1743.
In 1747 Nicholas Hall began acquiring land in this area. Hall’s estate was known as New Market Plains and consisted of approximately 10 80 acres. He is thought to have come from New Market, England.
