Frederick Municipal

Frederick, MD USA (KFDK / FDK)

Made famous by the Whittier’s poem about Dame Barbara Fritchie’s patriotism, the spires of Frederick have stood to remind all of us of the part of the city has played in the history of our country – as a crossroads of history and as a mirror reflecting events elsewhere. Many of today’s spires were built in the decade prior to the Civil War or before, when Frederick City was already over 100 years old! Although the formal beginnings of the city are traced to the laying out of Frederick Town and its settlement in 1745, there were settlers who arrived in the area prior to this. It was in 1725 that Benjamin Tasker patented “Tasker’s Chance” – the first of many land speculators in the area. Daniel Dulany laid out the new town hoping to develop a center of trade and a market for goods imported from England. It was not difficult to recruit families in Europe willing to try their luck in a new land.
