With land inherited from her father, who was one of the largest land owners in early colonial times, Deborah Brooke decided to establish a town, Brookeville. The town of Brookeville, Maryland would officially be accepted and chartered as a town in 1890. Brookeville, Maryland made its mark in history, being a important location during the War of 1812, throughout the effort to free slaves and their families, and through the industrial revolution. With the mass production of automobiles and Brookeville’s proximity to cities such as Baltimore, Annapolis, and the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., the population would grow quickly in the 1900s and there would be much development in regards to commercial, residential, and infrastructure. Today, Brookesville is proud of its history and makes that clear through locally designated historical landmarks and museums.

Brookesville, Maryland is now home to delicious restaurants, beautiful natural parks and preservations, great schools, and friendly neighbors. Though previously Brookesville, Maryland would see the average price of homes being listed on the market to be around $675,000, the rise in the local real estate market puts many homes upwards of $750,000. With all that Brookeville, Maryland has to offer, it is a perfect place to reside and raise a family.
