FREDERICK
Frederick County • Maryland Local
“The City of Clustered Spires”
“Frederick Town” was founded in 1745. Frederick was known during the nineteenth century for its religious pluralism, with one of its main thoroughfares, Church Street, hosting about a half dozen major churches. In 1793, All Saints Church hosted the first confirmation of an American citizen, by the newly consecrated Episcopal Bishop Thomas Claggett.
The oldest African-American church in the town is Asbury United Methodist Church, founded as the Old Hill Church, a mixed congregation in 1818. It became an African-American congregation in 1864, renamed Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church in 1870, and built its current building on All Saints Street in 1921.
In 1851, the Laboring Sons Memorial Grounds, a cemetery for free Blacks, was founded. In 1921, Frederick established a public high school for African Americans.
