Cumberland, 150 Years Old,
Will Celebrate Next August
Site of Town Named for Fort First
Called 66Walnut Bottom99—Entire
Tract Bought for $7,000.
Br tne Associated press.
CUMBERLAND, Md., January 1(5 —
Although this city will not celebrate
its 150th anniversary until the week of
August 8. next Wednesday is really its
sesquicentennial.
For on that day, January 20, 1787,
the Maryland Legislature passed an
act to authorize the erection of Cum
berland Town, "at or near the mouth
of Wills Creek in Washington County.”
The site of the town at that time
was owned by Thomas Beall and was
called “Walnut Bottom.” It comprised
that area now occupied by the busi
ness district, totaling about 200 acres.
Laid Out Lots.
Beall had purchased the Walnut
imately t7,000—a sum which today
would not buy many of the original
lots. He laid out lots in 1785 and sold
many of them under the name of
Washington Town, in honor of George
Washington.
In the year of the Legislature’s au- !
thorization of a town here, the settlers
1 petitioned the Assembly to change the '
| name to Cumberland, in honor of the
old Fort Cumberland, abandoned since
1765.
On this date 150 years ago. the total
I population was less than 100 families. !
| They all resided on the west side of 1
Wills Creek on streets now known as
Green and Washington streets.
Dent First Child.
To Frederick Dent has been given
i the honor of being the first child born
to a family in Cumberland after the
town's new name was authorized. Th:s
j event was in the Fall of 1787. and
occurred in the Dent home on Green
street.
In the decade following Cumber- I
land's establishment, about twoscore !
new families settled here and were j

prominent enough to have their names
recorded In history, but it is interesting
to note that their descendants are few
in this community. •
W. H. Lowdermilk, whose history of
Allegany County provides the most
complete chronicle of history of this
section, attributed this fact to the
pioneer spirit of these settlers, a spirit
that urged them to keep moving west
ward.
Cumberland, however, continued to
grow, and in 1815 the Maryland Legis
lature again took notice of the com
munity and by an act, again passed
on January 20, provided for the in
corporation of the town.
Charter Changed.
Nineteen years later this act was
amended to provide seven councilmen,
these to meet and choose a Mayor from
among themselves.
Under this amended charter the city
operated until 1874, when a new
charter, embodying material changes,
was obtained from the Legislature.
For 36 years the city was operated
under the ward system until, in 1910,
the present commission form of gov
ernment was established.
Cumberland has had only four
Mayors in the last 26 years. Mayor
TVW. Koon has been elected 10 times
and today heads the committee pre
paring for the sesquicentennial of the
city's founding.
