Cover page of The Community of Four Locks by Mike Mastrangelo

The community of Four Locks grew as a direct result of the C & O Canal and the businesses associated with Canal operations. This "permanent" community thrived as long as the canal was operating. Family names of Four Locks included the Florys, Flynns, Snyders, Meyers, Taylors, Fernsners, Bowers, Mouses, Harts, Mosiers, Brewers, and Crawford. At different times, however, two families - the Prathers and the Hassetts - played major roles in the founding and leadership of Four Locks, Maryland.
