Woodstock is a community that is a suburb of Baltimore City, Maryland.  The original village of Woodstock is located in Howard County, and also includes portions of Baltimore County and Carroll County.

Thomas Browne, II explored westward into Anne Arundel County through the community of Clarksville and into Woodstock.  He settled in the area in 1702.  He was frequently referred to as “Thomas Browne, the Patuxent Ranger.”  He settled land located west of the Chesapeake Bay along the Patuxent River.  The Mt. Pleasant log home was built by the Brown family in the 18th century.  A century later in the civil war, confederate general Bradley Tyler Johnson used Mt. Pleasant to store weapons, dispatch messages and hide from Union troops.

Woodstock was founded as a mining town based around its Granite quarries.  The B&O railroad ran through the area.  There was a station built in 1835 for granite deliveries.  The postal community for Woodstock was named “Davis Tavern” when its first post office opened in 1836.

Caleb Davis and Peter Gorman were early B&O contractors.  Gorman married Elizabeth Browne of the Brown family.  They occupied a large farm in Woodstock known as “Good Fellowship.”  He sold granite for buildings and built a large granite house in Woodstock.  The granite house was the birthplace of Arthur Pue Gorman.  It was torn down to build a bridge across the Patapsco River in the early 1980s,
