The nameDamascus isa biblical reference. The firstofficial mention of Damascuswas in 1816, when EdwardHughes received congres-sional approval for a postalroute through town. Ridge

Road (Md. 27) was part of theSusquehannaTrail that be-gan near what now is Harris-burg, Pa., and wound alongthe hilltops to Seneca Creek.

The city of Gaithersburgcontinues to function thanksto the hard work of variouspeople, from its roughly 250full-time city staff to thecountless residents who vol-unteer to serve the city. The10-square-mile municipalityin the center of MontgomeryCounty can be called a high-tech business hub. It alsois the home of Olde Towne,a historic downtown areafeaturing shops, offices andrestaurants that is undergo-ing a revitalization effort.

Before it was Gaithers-burg, residents called thearea Log Town. In 1802,Benjamin Gaither built ahouse and several retailestablishments at Frederickand Diamond avenues. Thetown’s name was changedshortly thereafter.

The Gaither family alsohelped to bring the railroadto the city in the 1850s.Gaithersburg’s 2010 popula-tion was 59,933, giving it thefourth-highest population inMaryland, according to theU.S. Census Bureau.

The city, which was in-corporated in 1878, operatesunder a council-managerform of municipal govern-ment. The city manageris appointed by the five-member city council andserves as a city employee.The manager acts as thecity’s chief executive officer

and answers to the mayorand council concerningcity affairs. The mayor andcity council are elected of-ficials who serve staggeredfour-year terms. The mayorserves as the president of thecity council and offers inputwithout voting on the issues.

Other municipali-ties around Gaithersburginclude Washington Grove,with a population of 555 atthe edge of East DiamondAvenue, and Laytonsville,an incorporated town witha population of about 350north of Gaithersburg. Theoriginal full name of Wash-ington Grove was the Wash-ington Grove Camp MeetingAssociation of the Districtof Columbia and Maryland,reflecting the town’s found-ing as an outdoor religioussummer camp. Washing-ton probably was chosenbecause the majority of the

people who founded thecamp were from Washing-ton, D.C., churches, and“grove” was chosen to ad-vertise that meetings wouldtake place in a place filledwith trees.

Laytonsville was estab-lished in 1789 on a tractof land granted to JamesBrooke. It originally wasknown as Cracklintown,named after the popularcracklin bread — bacon cornbread — that was baked lo-cally. Laytonsville receivedits name after the local postoffice was moved to JohnLayton’s saddle shop. Thetown was incorporated as amunicipality in 1892.

POLICEGaithersburg has its own policedepartment. Mark P. Sroka is policechief. Gaithersburg also is servedby the county’s Fifth District policestation in Germantown and the SixthDistrict station in Gaithersburg. For
