Elkridge is a small town of about 60,000 residents approximately 15 miles southwest of Baltimore, located in the northeast part of Howard County. It was the first permanent settlement in what would later become Howard County, founded as a Quaker community by three brothers who had moved here from Buck's County, Pennsylvania. John, Joseph, and Andrew Ellicott established Ellicott's Mills in 1772 paying three dollars per acre. Parts of Elkridge have much older homes, including the famous Elkridge Furnace Inn. Other parts have much newer homes.
