About Hagerstown

Hagerstown Maryland the county seat of Washington County is the sixth largest city in Maryland. Jonathan Hager bought two hundred acres in the Great Appalachian Valley in 1739 naming it Hager's Fancy. In 1762, he formally created the town of Elizabethtown named after his wife Elizabeth. Fourteen years later, he earned the title "Father of Washington County" when he successfully helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly founded Washington County with adjoining Frederick County in Maryland. In 1813, the name was officially changed by the City Council to Hagerstown, which was endorsed by the Maryland State Legislature in 1814. The city a rural area is a hub of transport and business. With Interstates 81 and 70, Hagerstown Regional airport and busy railroads Hagerstown has far-reaching transportation opportunities. Hagerstown has been nicknamed Hub City because it is the main industrial hub for most of Western Maryland, Parts of Pennsylvania and some of West Virginia. Little Heiskell the original weather vane was crafted by Benjamin Heiskell a German Tinsmith in 1769 in the shape of a Hessian soldier. This little German Mercenary soldier stood for one hundred and sixty six years beginning on Market House and later on top of City Hall. The original was temporarily placed in the Museum of the Washington County Historical Society then permanently exhibited at the Jonathan Hager House. Currently there is an exact replica proudly standing on top of City Hall. Little Heiskell is also North Hagerstown High School's mascot.
