Earlier this year, the Montgomery County Police Department was pleased to announce that total crime in the county in2013 was down 9 percent from 2012. This decrease is only part of a seven-year trend that shows a 33 percentreduction in serious crime and a 26 percent decrease in all crimes in the county. In fact, the crime rate in MontgomeryCounty is 1/3 of that of similar jurisdictions.
While I am proud of the work that our department has done to reduce the crime rate, we realize that a large part ofcrime reduction is due to the partnerships that we enjoy with our community. Without the trust and assistance of ourresidents, our officers could not do the job that they do.
In order to better serve our residents, we are always planning to improve our police department facilities. This year,we are happy to announce the opening of two new buildings: the Animal Services and Adoption Center opened inMarch 2014 and the 3rd District police station opened in May 2014. It is our hope that these facilities will serve theneeds of our police department and our residents well into the future.
Speaking of the future, the MCPD is actively recruiting future members for our department. Oftentimes our best applicants come from the communities that weserve. If you enjoy working with people and want to give back to your community, I encourage you to submit an application. We offer a competitive starting salary,excellent benefits, and many opportunities for career advancement. The Montgomery County Police Department is a great organization—become part of our team!
I am proud of the job that the men and women of this department do every day. Partnering with our residents and local businesses, it is our goal to continue to worktogether to keep Montgomery County a safe place to live, work, and enjoy life.

The town’s first settler,WilliamClarke, saw a crossroads south ofFrederick brimming with poten-tial. Working out of his wagon inthe 1730s, the peddler from Lan-caster County, Pa., set up shop atthewoodedintersectionoftwoma-jor indian trails. There he swappedtrinkets for furs he could send toEurope’swealthymarkets.
As traffic picked up in thearea, an entrepreneur namedMichael A. Dowden saw his for-tune. He built a 17-room hoteland tavern in 1754 near Clarke’spost. Lt. George Washington andBritish Gen. Edward Braddockwould stay at Dowden’s in 1775for three days — while soldiers
camped on the snowblown hill-sides — on their march towardFort Duquesne.
The town takes its name fromClarke’s son, John, who in the
early 1790s surveyed the townand laid it out in lots, including“villages” for industries such astanning and blacksmithing. In1800, Clarke became the town’sfirst postmaster.
Throughout the years, the “e”wasdropped fromthe familynameand the town became Clarksburg.By 1850, Clarksburg was the third-largestcity inMontgomeryCounty,behind Rockville and Poolesville.The town was booming with fourgeneral stores, two hotels, a school
and even its own band, accordingto local author andhistorian SusanSoderberg.
Clarksburg began to declinein importance after the 1880s,when theBaltimoreandOhio railslaid a path for the Brunswick linethat bypassed Clarksburg and ranthrough nearby Boyds, four milesaway. After the turn of the cen-tury, hotels and industries beganto close.Clarksburg is undergoingmajor development. The popula-tion is expected to grow to about40,000 by 2025.

The city of Gaithersburgcontinues to function thanksto the hardwork of vari-ous people, from its roughly250 full-time city staff to thecountless residents who vol-unteer to serve the city. The10-square-milemunicipalityin the center ofMontgomeryCounty can be called a high-tech business hub. It alsois the home of OldeTowne,a historic downtown areafeaturing shops, offices andrestaurants that is undergoinga revitalization effort.
Before it was Gaithers-burg, residents called the areaLogTown. In 1802, BenjaminGaither built a house andseveral retail establishmentsat Frederick andDiamond av-enues.The town’s namewaschanged shortly thereafter.
TheGaither family alsohelped to bring the railroad tothe city in the 1850s. Gaithers-burg’s 2010 populationwas59,933, giving it the fourth-highest population inMary-land, according to theU.S.Census Bureau.
The city, whichwasincorporated in 1878, oper-ates under a council-managerformofmunicipal govern-ment. The citymanager is ap-pointed by the five-membercity council and serves as acity employee.Themanageracts as the city’s chief execu-tive officer and answers to themayor and council concern-
ing city affairs. Themayorand city council are electedofficials who serve staggeredfour-year terms.Themayorserves as the president of thecity council and offers inputwithout voting on the issues.
OthermunicipalitiesaroundGaithersburg includeWashingtonGrove, with apopulation of 555 at the edgeof East DiamondAvenue, andLaytonsville, an incorporatedtownwith a population ofabout 350 north of Gaith-ersburg.The original fullname ofWashingtonGrovewas theWashingtonGroveCampMeeting Associationof theDistrict of ColumbiaandMaryland, reflectingthe town’s founding as anoutdoor religious summercamp.Washington prob-ably was chosen because themajority of the peoplewhofounded the campwere fromWashington, D.C., churches,and“grove”was chosen toadvertise thatmeetingswouldtake place in a place filledwith trees.
Laytonsville was estab-lished in 1789 on a tract ofland granted to James Brooke.It originally was known asCracklintown, named afterthe popular cracklin bread—bacon corn bread— that wasbaked locally. Laytonsvillereceived its name after thelocal post officewasmovedto John Layton’s saddle shop.
The townwas incorporated asamunicipality in 1892.POLICEGaithersburg has its ownpolicedepartment. Mark P. Sroka is policechief. Gaithersburg also is servedby the county’s Fifth District policestation in Germantown and the SixthDistrict station in Gaithersburg. Forpolice stations, see page 17.

Germantown’s roots reachback to the 1800s, when farm-ingwas theway of life wherehousing developments standtoday.
The not-quite-a-town gotits name from the large num-ber of German business own-ers who settled in the cross-roads area of Clopper RoadandMd. 118 in the 1830s and1840s, according to historianSusan Soderberg, author of“AHistory of Germantown,Maryland.”
Althoughmost of thearea’s farmers and landown-ers were English, travelersand visitors remembered theaccents of the shopkeepers,whowere amix of Germanimmigrants and also fromGerman settlements in Penn-sylvania, and began to call thearea “Germantown.”
Since 1974, theGerman-townpopulation has beengrowing by about 2,000people per year, and during
the past decade it was thefastest-growing area ofMont-gomery County.
The community’s 2010populationwas about 86,400.
