George Town, situated on the
"Patowmack," was part of the
county from 1776 until 1897 when
it became part of 10-mile-square
grant given to the Government to
build Washington, the Federal
city.
The old city of Georgetown was
go acres large, part of tracts be-
longing to George Gordon and
George Beall. 1t was surveyed
into 80 lots in ISL and the streets
and lanes were named in 1852.
Gordon and Beall didn't want
to sell their land but it was con-
demned and they were awarded
285 pounds currency as payment.
The land Georgetown now occu-
pies was patented to Ninian Beall
in 1903. The original tract con-
tanned 795 acres and was known
as "Rock of Dunbarton." At the
time Beall acquired the land, in
payment for a debt of 500 acres
due him by the proprietary of
Maryland, Georgetown then was
in Prince Georges county.
Changed Hands Often
Frederick county was formed
out of Prince Georges county and
thus gained the port of George
town. When Montgomery county
was formed in 1776, Georgetown
changed hands again.
The county lost a rich plum to
Washington. Records show that
from October 1, 1889 until July
i, 1880, the port exported about
$261 900. The Custom House was
said to have collected more than
