Ellicott City was founded in 1772 by three Quaker brothers,
John, Joseph, and Andrew Ellicott, who wanted to build
a grist mill. The area in and around Ellicott City was
good for milling because of the several rivers in the
area. Today, Old Town Ellicott City is a fairly large
city and an even larger tourist attraction, because
of the various historical buildings located in the city.
Some of these buildings include the Thomas Isaac Log
Cabin, B&O Railroad Museum, Colored School, and
the Patapsco Female Institute.
