Historic Sandy Spring

Historic, because for a rural community
Sandy Spring has given
to our country men and women who
have taken a very prominent part in
the progress and development of our
nation.

First, let us locate Sandy Spring
Maryland, consider some of it's characteristics,
and find out from whence
it derived to name. This village is
twenty-eight miles west of Baltimore,
Maryland and is seventeen miles almost
due north of Washington, D.C
It is ten miles from a railroad.

Sandy Spring is not only a village,
but is a neghborhood and community
also. It is a very small village, but
has financial institutions whose business
and resources are equal to those of
many city institutions of a similar
kind which are considered great. It
possesses civic or community betterment
associations which are old,
