* A “hundred” was a geographic term originally referring to an area which
encompassed about 100 homesteads and/or could raise 100 armed men. It
was used in England and some parts of the United States.
Several of the eastern hundreds in Frederick County became part of Carroll County
in 1837 and some of Baltimore County’s western hundreds were also incorporated
into Carroll County at the same time.
