History
The land where the town is located was part of two tracts, "Beale's Chance" and "Fellowship", owned by two brothers, George and William Boone. Founded in 1792, when the brothers laid out the land in half-acre lots. Originally named Margaretsville in honor of George's wife, it was eventually changed to Boonesborough and then later to its shortened spelling – Boonsboro.
With the construction of the National Road, a turnpike connecting Baltimore to the west, Boonsboro grew and prospered. In 1823, a new process called "macadam" was used to finish an unpaved section of the turnpike from Boonsboro to Hagerstown. This was the first time the road building process was used in the United States. Mile markers can still be found along the National Road; this one is located in Columbus, Ohio. ...
