Somerset is a small town of Montgomery County in Maryland next to the Washington D.C. border. It should not be mistaken for Somerset County (Maryland), which is 150 miles away from this locality.
In case you decide to visit Somerset, you will surely need a ride. Call to arrange for a pick-up from the airport with Affinity Airport Sedan for a more enjoyable experience.
The beginnings of Somerset go back to 1890, when a group of scientists acquired 50 acres of tobacco farmland from the government to be developed as a residential community. This parcel of land was formerly part of the Friendship Tract, a grant of 3,000 acres to colonists in early Maryland. Somerset was one of the streets named after counties in England. The others are Cumberland, Dorset, Essex, Surrey, and Warwick. The very first resident of Somerset in 1893 was Dr. Charles Crampton, and by 1905, there were already 35 houses in that community. The first Town Council was organized in May 7, 1906, with Dr. Crampton as the first mayor.
According to town officials and local historians, women have been active in the cultural development of Somerset and Montgomery County as a whole. In 1902, women residents of this town formed a Wednesday Club to discuss and recommend solutions primarily on child labor issues, rights of suffrage, the war in Europe, and other current concerns. In 1916, the Wednesday Club was transformed into the Women’s Club of Somerset and ultimately merged with the Montgomery County Federation of Women’s Clubs.
Somerset was always hailed as an area of tranquility and refinement. However, it was confronted with problems such as insufficient water drain systems, crude sewage disposal methods, and an absence of local fire protection and schools. These issues urged local citizens to formally request the State of Maryland for incorporation into a township so taxes could be levied for basic services. The State issued Somerset’s charter in 1906, forming the community of Somerset Heights and surrounding areas into a town. Somerset has a mayor-council form of government. It has stood up to challenges and development has been rapid. You can now find tennis and basketball courts, a batting area, and a community swimming pool as well as more residential units.
If your travels bring you to Somerset or any other town in the D.C. area, keep in mind Affinity Airport Sedan. We will pick you up on time and get you to your destination safely.
Dickerson is located along Maryland Route 28, flanked by Sugarloaf Mountain and the Potomac River. It was formally instituted in 1871 and named after the town’s first postmaster, William H.

The town was nothing but a few bungalows, a pair of roads, and one store before the Civil War. However, the population started to increase after 1865, when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was looking for a route to accommodate its Metropolitan Branch. Commuters were yearning for a means of traveling west toward D.C. and other areas without the need to pass by Baltimore. Construction of a route that passed through Dickerson up to Point of Rocks in Maryland was completed in 1871. The whole line was opened for public use in 1873.
The famous Dickerson Store was put up as a supply depot only for workers building the railroad in 1870, but it also continued to serve local residents and farmers as a general store. In 1891, a post office was added to the retail outlet. It was moved three times: first in 1890 to allow more space for the train station, second in 1910 to make way for road widening, and again in 1928 when a second track was added to the railroad. You can find Dickerson Market at Dickerson Road. It was built in 1946 as Dronenburg’s Store. The post office was relocated for a fourth time from the Dickerson Store to Dickerson Market in 1960.
The historic White’s Ferry is a historic ferry that offered transport services on the Potomac River between Maryland and Virginia; it is a must-see for visitors.

A map of Maryland that dates back to the late 18th century shows a mill owned by a Quaker minister and political activist named Evan Thomas. Francis Valdenar bought the frame saw and grist mill in 1833. Then in 1857, Valdenar sold this mill to George Kemp who renamed it Kemp Mill. The family operated the mill until 1905 and unfortunately in 1919, the mill burned down. The Maryland National Park and Planning Commission acquired the site in 1957.
There are numerous Jewish synagogues as well as Jewish and Catholic parochial schools in this community. Kemp Mill Recreation Center was constructed and now houses basketball and tennis courts, a baseball field and playground. A spacious meeting place was also constructed for residents. Sligo Creek emerges from Kemp Mill and has become the most developed sub-watershed of the Anacostia River.
