HAGERSTOWN, MD

Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.

In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

several this morning are all too clever... this is wonderful!

having a few minutes to scan the threads.. found a good one that I have BTTT to read in more detail later(seems the lightening was flowing there). Usually good info on Sunday Morning talk show thread.

Cavuto seemed neutral for the longest time. I like Greta, even when she was on CNN. I guess us Wisconsinites stick together. She has always been fair. Her husband is a huge Palin supporter.

Thanks for the thread.

I find Cavuto and Charles Payne yuge Anti-Trump sycophants...and very intolerable to watch/hear anymore.

Cavuto is especially a yuge crony Establishment supporter.

Hi Judy. If you don’t mind sharing, what community is your cottage in? I ADORE Ontario. Have attended perhaps a dozen 3-4 day events at the Shakespeare festival in STratford and stayed at an amazing B & B in Woodstock. Have biked all around NOTL.. love the wineries, Shaw festival, Welland canal, of course the Canadian attractions near the falls.. My favorite restaurant - Franks Tomato Pie has closed and now I go to the same location, with another name.. Johnny Rocco’s Italian Grill...and especially in summer the gorgeous botanical grounds that are so well maintained

I grew up spending almost every other weekend during summer in Dunkirk NY. My uncle and cousin had homes on Lake Erie and we would take their boats across the lake for various activities... Just a nice destination.
