Welcome to the City of Hagerstown,
Maryland Official Site
We are glad that you are searching for real estate information on our site. This information is located on a page that is not maintained by DMS Properties, LLC Residential Real Estate Services. The City of Hagerstown, Maryland was founded in 1762 by Jonathan Hager.
He was a gunsmith, fur trader, farmer and politician. After settling, he quickly increased his wealth and expanded his land holdings. He acquired over 10,000 acres which he used to layout plans for the town. It was originally named Elizabethtowne, in honor of his wife. The town’s name was later changed to Hagerstown in his honor.
Today, in keeping with its rich history, the “Hub City” sits at the crossroads of two major interstates. They are I-70 and I-81. It serves as the gateway to the City of Baltimore, Maryland and the City of Washington, D.C. Finally, the City is the “hub” of government, commerce and recreation for the tri-state area. It also serves as the Seat of Government for Washington County.
