[edit] HistoryClarksburg is named for Native American trader William Clarke, and was established at the intersection of the main road between Georgetown and Frederick and an old Seneca trail. One of its earliest white inhabitants was a man named Ashford Dowden, who in 1752 received a patent for 40 acres from the colonial government, and two years later permission to build an inn. The inn itself is a footnote in history, hosting the army of General Edward Braddock during the French and Indian War, serving as a meeting place for local Sons of Liberty in the years before the American Revolution, and possibly serving dinner to President Andrew Jackson on his way to his inauguration. John Clark, grandson of the trader, built a general store in the area around 1770, and over the next thirty years enough people moved to the area that Clark was appointed postmaster for the community. By 1875, Clarksburg was a major town in the northern part of the county, but the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad undermined its economy, and by the late 20th century Clarksburg was barely a shell of its former self. Most of the original buildings are gone, but the area has been rebuilt as a suburban bedroom community, and is again a major population center.[3] [edit] DevelopmentIn the years since 2000 there has been major growth in the area of Clarksburg. The new town center is currently being built in the heart of Clarksburg. While there is no exact data on the population of Clarksburg currently, there are estimates of about 12,000 residents currently in Clarksburg. [edit] School Enrollment Issue
As you can see by the table the two newly built schools, Little Bennett Elementary School and Clarksburg High School, have the largest increase of students, with Little Bennett at 71.4% above building capacity in the projections of 2011-2012. This has led to a moratorium in issuance of permits for new projects, but not issuance of permits in existing projects, for new homes in the Clarksburg, MD area [8]. The majority of planned housing units will be built in existing projects. All four of the largest neighborhoods are exempt from the moratorium. [edit] Notable business headquarters
