Talk:Western Maryland

message: Actually the debate is whether or not Frederick County is considered Western Maryland.  The boundary most W. Marylanders accept is South Mountain.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.157.25 (talk) 12:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Agree.  Western Maryland is the common term for the area, and a merge+redirect seems like it would suit fine in this case seeing as both articles are referring to roughly the same geographic area.  The only difference is the inclusion of Frederick County in the article on Western Maryland.  Jason Smith 23:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A lot of Western MD cities, including the 3 big ones, get less than 80 inches of snow/year. I think that statement about snow totals should be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vpuliva (talk • contribs) 01:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I think a serious argument can be made for the inclusion of Carroll County in Western Maryland. I would remind you that McDaniel College, located in Westminster, was known for years as Western Maryland College. 
Carroll County is much more rural than Baltimore County, and is more conservative than many other parts of the state.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.174.72.187 (talk) 04:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

message: A separate article should be made for Appalachian Maryland, the Maryland counties within the federally designated Appalachian Region (Garrett, Allegany, and Washington).  Frederick County is officially part of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area according to the US federal government.  Frederick County may have been Western Maryland 5-10 years ago, but changing demographics have made it now much more urban with closer economic and cultural ties to Washington, DC than the Western Maryland counties, as reflected by the US Census's inclusion in the DC metropolitan area.  Hagerstown may be on the same route within the next 10 years or so to be included in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area as well, as Jefferson County, WV has already been included and Berkeley County, WV (currently part of the Hagerstown, MD Metropolitan Area and not part of DC's MSA) already having some of the same transportation infrastructure to DC that Jefferson County does.

message: Hi, I'm planning on doing some edits on this article and wanted anyone involved to be aware. Right now I'm thinking about editing a lot of this article, and adding in some different sections. I want to develop some different sections about the population, economics, geographical information, and anything else this article needs. I'm going to be editing this in my sandbox, so if anyone would like to take a look at what i am doing or has any ideas that could help develop this further, please let me know. Thanks!
