Allegany County is a county located in the western portion of the U.S. state of Maryland.
The name Allegany comes from a local Native American word, oolikhanna, which means "beautiful stream." It should be noted that the spelling Allegany County is used in New York as well as in Maryland; Pennsylvania spells a similarly-named county Allegheny County, while Virginia and North Carolina spell theirs Alleghany County.
Allegany County was formed in 1789 by the splitting of Washington County.
Maryland is a state of the United States, one of the South Atlantic States (although often considered part of the Mid-Atlantic States and occasionally part of the Northeast).
Maryland is a republic; the United States guarantees her "republican form of government" [USC Article IV, section 4] although there is considerable disagreement about the meaning of that phrase.
Maryland is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, on the west by West Virginia, on the east by Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south, across the Potomac River, by Virginia.
