History:
Taneytown was founded in 1754 and became the seat of Taneytown Hundred in colonial Frederick County. Taneytown takes its name from Raphael Taney, a recipient of one of the first land grants in the area, though Taney likely never lived in the town that bears his name. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Roger Brooke Taney, author of the Dred Scott decision, born in 1777, shares a common ancestor with him. When Carroll County was formed on 19 January 1837, Taneytown Hundred and Taneytown were included.
Much of the town was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Taneytown Historic District in 1986.
Taneytown was the first town in Maryland to make English the official language.
There is a Steve Earle song called "Taneytown" on his album El Corazon.
