Camp Springs

Well, we’re sorry you slept past your stop. Now that you’re here, though, you might as well learn a little bit about where you are. This station is in a community called “Camp Springs.” The land was originally settled in the mid-1800s, and by 1860 it was a thriving town with numerous stores, a blacksmith shop, a school, a Methodist Church, and residences. Though its original name was Allentown, locals referred to it as “Camp Springs” because it was a popular resting place for Fort Meade-bound soldiers who thought the town’s abundant springs made for a comfortable camping place.
