Boyd's Business Directory of Maryland, 1875

The 1875 edition of Boyd’s Business Directory for Maryland lists the occupations and businesses in the five largest cities in Maryland, and all the smaller towns. This website includes Cumberland, Hagerstown, and the smaller towns, but not Baltimore City. The book is organized by occupation. Many of the citizens were self-employed and so the list contains mostly individuals, rather than corporate entities. The exception is newspapers and hotels.
