Abingdon Living
 Harford County is currently home to three large incorporated municipalities, Aberdeen, Bel Air and Havre de Grace. In the beginning, however, numerous Native American Indians roamed the land, including the Susquehannocks, Patuxents and Piscataways tribes. The first Englishman to explore the Chesapeake Bay area was Captain John Smith from England who mapped the entire Harford County area. By 1661, the town of Old Baltimore on the east bank of the Bush River was established. Abingdon was the birthplace of William Paca, a former governor of Maryland and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Today, Abingdon and Harford County are popular destinations for residents and visitors alike, offering impressive natural parks, exciting museums, unique shopping and fine dining. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the Upper Chesapeake Bay, Rocks State Park, Susquehanna State Park and Gunpowder State Park. Other points of interest include, the fabulous Ripken Museum, named after Aberdeen’s favorite son, Cal Ripkin, Jr., Rock Run Mill, Steppingstone Museum, Jersey Toll House, Army Ordnance Museum and the Carter and Liriodendron Mansions. Plumpton Park Zoo, Conowingo Dam and the Fiore Winery are also must-see stops in Harford County. |
