Our compact little community was first recognized in the
late 1880's when the B & O Railroad honored Derwood
with a train stop. Today Derwood is acknowledged by the postal service with its own zipcode, although many of the utilities only recognize us as part of Rockville. A brief history of Derwood has been compiled by Jo Seymour* and posted online by Eric Carlson. Check it out!

The following images were graciously supplied by George Albrecht, a Derwood resident, of some of the historic architecture still standing in Derwood. Each of these is further mentioned in Jo Seymour's brief history. Thanks George!
