HISTORY
Settlements around Clarksville (Route 32 and Route 108) were developed in the early 1700s and some of the original homes sit along the roads reminding travelers that it wasn't so long ago, Howard County was mostly farmland. Early settlers grew tobacco and like tobacco farmers up and down the east coast, used more and more acreage to sustain that crop. Communities developed along the Patapsco River carrying iron ore and tobacco cargo to the Chesapeake Bay.

HOWARD COUNTY REAL ESTATE
Real estate in Howard County developed in the mid 20th Century north/south along Route 29. Half acre lots are not unusual and the ever popular Ramber was the style of choice for these durable homes. Over the years as prices rose, the half acre lot gave way to the quarter acre lot or less and the Rambler gave way to the Split Level, then the two story Colonial. In the 1969s, The Rouse Company developed the town of Columbia which developed single family detached, town homes and condominium homes to families moving to the area for employment opportunities that made Columbia so popular. 20 minutes to the BWI Airport made Columbia attractive to national businesses. An hour commute to Washington, D.C.; 20 minutes to Baltimore City and 45 minutes to Annapolis make Howard County a very convenient place for real estate in Maryland.
