Gaithersburg is home to a diverse and active community of over 50,000 residents. Gaithersburg began in 1765 as a small agricultural settlement known as Log Town. In 1850, the post office was named “Forest Oak.” The town officially became “Gaithersburg” when it was incorporated on April 5, 1878.

The City is named after Benjamin Gaither who built a house in 1802 on the property where the famous Forest Oak tree used to grow. The tree was over 275 years old in 1975, when a boring was taken to determine its age. The tree witnessed much change along the “Great Road West,” Maryland Route 355, in its close to 300 years of existence. The tree saw the coming of famous generals like George Washington and Edward Braddock traveling between Georgetown and Frederick and the commercial development of the road in the modern era. In the summer of 1997 this city landmark was felled during a storm.

In 1899 the Gaithersburg Latitude Observatory was built as part of an international project to measure the earth’s wobble on its polar axis. The Gaithersburg Observatory and five others in Japan, Italy, Russia and the United States gathered information that is still used by scientists today, along with information obtained from satellites, to determine polar motion; the size, shape, and physical properties of the earth; and to aid the space program through the precise navigational patterns of orbiting satellites. The Gaithersburg station operated until 1982 when computerization rendered the manual observation obsolete.

On June 14, 1961 the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) broke ground on its first Gaithersburg building. The move of this government agency brought an incredible amount of growth to the City. The complex maintains standards for scientific research and housed in the complex are the standard meter and kilogram to which all others are compared for accuracy. The organization’s coming gave Gaithersburg the designation as “Science Capital of the United States.” When the Bureau moved to the area, other science-related firms came to do business in the community.

Gaithersburg has undergone significant changes in recent years. The City is now an urban area and a suburb of Washington, D.C. It has become a major regional location for high-technology companies. Gaithersburg is home to a multitude of biotechnology, telecommunications, software development and defense contracting companies.

The rolling fields of wheat are now roads, housing developments and commercial enterprises, but at the same time a number of historic communities and traditions have been preserved. Throughout the year, the City of Gaithersburg sponsors many cultural events. During the spring and summer months, the City Hall Pavilion is busy with musical and theater groups, movies, and other special events. Art exhibits are located in various City facilities year round. The City also hosts the Celebrate Gaithersburg in Olde Towne Street Festival where residents gather on the streets of the City’s Olde Towne district to enjoy good food, arts and crafts, and a variety of family entertainment while celebrating the City’s heritage. Winter Lights is an extraordinary light display held in partnership with Seneca Creek State Park. To celebrate the holidays, people from all over come to see hundreds of holiday images created by colorful lights along a 3.5 mile drive. Gaithersburg continues to grow while retaining many of the qualities of a small town that cherishes its diverse heritage.

Rich in culture and high tech industries, convenient to our nation’s capital and major employment centers, and surrounded by the best shopping, dining and recreational options; Gaithersburg is a great place to live, work and play. Welcome home!
