Welcome to Frederick, MD

Frederick, the seat of Frederick County, is the state’s third-largest city with a population of just over 60,000. Its thriving downtown area boasts over 150 retail and dining establishments, in addition to art galleries, theaters, and historic landmarks. Its dynamic arts scene is also a big attraction, thanks to the efforts of the Frederick Arts Council, Frederick Symphony Orchestra, Choral Arts Society of Frederick, and the Frederick School of Classical Ballet. Residents also enjoy baseball games at Frederick’s Harry Grove Stadium. Many families tend to relocate here because of the city’s excellent schools, including six public high schools, four private high schools, and two colleges. But the area is just as popular among workers and professionals; both Ft. Detrick and BP Solar, the first- and second-largest employers in the county, are located in Frederick. And with general aviation traffic handled by nearby Frederick Municipal Airport, getting to this dynamic city is simple. That’s why so many people choose to relocate to Frederick.
