History
Europeans were the second group to settle the area now known as Catonsville. It is generally believed by historians that native tribes, known as the Piscataway' established villages here before the European colonists arrived. This tribe occupied the land between the Potomac to the Chesapeake Bay and up the Patapsco River. Catonsville was located along the Piscataway Trail. The colonists and the tribes got along until the mid 17th Century, when the English government ended the practices of Catholic Missionaries in the area. It is believed that the tribes were driven from their villages and some were hunted by slave catchers. As happened in many areas of the early colonial America, diseases unknown the tribes were spread by the colonists. Eventually, the tribes moved north under the protection of the Iroquois.

With most of the natives scattered, the colonists expanded across Maryland. Present day Catonsville was settled in the 1700s. In the early 1800s, a county road along the Patapsco River was named the Frederick Turnpike, or later designated Route 144 was opened by the Ellicotts to service traffic between their flour mill, Ellicott Mills, and Baltimore. Catonsville as we know it today was settled along this route by Richard Caton, under the authority of his father-in-law Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Travelers along "the turnpike" as it was then known rested and conducted business in the area, causing Catonsville to grow.

The large Victorian and Colonial homes located in Catonsville were built by wealthy folks moving from Baltimore. Originally these communities were used for summer residences to escape the heat in Baltimore. Eventually, as with many communities, with the introduction of the automobile and electric trolley, families moved to Catonsville year round. The combination of wealthy families, businesses and government workers, wage earners and others combined to make up the Catonsville of today. Baltimore attempted over the years to annex Catonsville, the last attempt in 1918, but all attempts were rebuffed, and the community remains an unincorporated town in Baltimore County.
