The area currently known as Highlandtown was established in 1866 when the area known as "Snake Hill" was established as a village outside of the Baltimore city limits. The first settlers of the community were primarily German Americans.

The coordinates are for the town clock. This historic district seems to be two distinct and separate entities which have been combined into one district. First, there is Patterson Park with its Pulaski Monument, huge stone pillars at every entrance and surrounding historical and early 19th century to mid-19th century dwellings. Drive down Eastern Street a bit and you will find a huge group of independent and eclectic shops. This business district is the anti-franchise! There are no chains, only independent coffee houses, music stores, old time barbers and a really old movie house. There is so much to do here.

In 1870 residents renamed the neighborhood "Highland Town" because of the views it offered over the city. The neighborhood was made part of Baltimore city in 1919. Please visit this site for the source and for more information.

One last thing, here is the official LINK to the Historical District sponsored by Balitmore. Check that out as well!
