Montgomery County • Maryland Local
Acorn Park home to the original spring
Silver Spring was founded in 1840. Silver Spring is a census-designated place (CDP) in southeastern Montgomery County, Maryland. The downtown is located next to the northern tip of Washington, D.C.
Silver Spring was home to Fritz Pollard Sr., the first African American head coach in the National Football League. Pollard and Bobby Marshall were the first two African American players in the NFL in 1920. In 2005, Fritz Pollard was posthumously inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Football pioneer Walter Camp, the “Father of American Football”, called Pollard “one of the greatest runners these eyes have ever seen.” Pollard also published the New York Independent News from 1935 to 1942, purportedly the first Black-owned tabloid in New York City.
