Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Deer Park, MD

Deer Park is an incorporated town in Garrett County, Maryland's westernmost county, in the Allegheny Mountains near the Deep Creek Lake area.

Deer Park was incorporated in 1884, but its history reaches back to the 1770s, when the land was part of a property owned by Lord Baltimore that was first surveyed on April 14, 1774.

The town boomed in the mid-to-late 1880s as a mountaintop summer resort served by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, whose trains brought wealthy visitors seeking scenery and cool temperatures.

The Deer Park Hotel, constructed in 1872, was the focal point of the resort era, and numerous large summer cottages were built around it for affluent guests.

President Grover Cleveland and his wife Frances spent the first night of their honeymoon in Deer Park on June 3, 1886.

Deer Park declined as a vacation destination in the early 1900s once automobiles freed travelers from the railroad, and fires and demolitions have since destroyed many of its grand hotels and cottages.

Two Deer Park properties survive on the National Register of Historic Places: Pennington Cottage, listed in 1976, and Glamorgan, listed in 1984.

As of the 2020 census, Deer Park had a population of 303, down 24.1% from the 399 residents counted in 2010.

In the 2010 census, Deer Park had 156 households and 175 housing units within its roughly one square mile of land.

Deer Park covers a total area of 1.00 square mile, all land, at an elevation of about 2,520 feet above sea level.
