Local Facts & Community Context for Fort Ritchie, MD
Understanding the local housing stock, population density, and municipal layout of Fort Ritchie (Washington County) helps independent remediation contractors coordinate discreet arrival and efficient biohazard waste transport:
Fort Ritchie is a census-designated place in northeastern Washington County, Maryland, just south of the Pennsylvania state line, covering the grounds of a former U.S. Army post within the Cascade community.
Before the military arrived, the site was home to the Buena Vista Ice Company, which from 1889 harvested natural ice from the site's lakes, aided by an elevation of nearly 1,400 feet in a high valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In 1926 the State of Maryland bought the land to create a Maryland National Guard training camp named Camp Ritchie in honor of Governor Albert C. Ritchie.
In June 1942 the federal government took over Camp Ritchie as a Military Intelligence Training Center, which trained roughly 19,600 intelligence troops during World War II.
After the war, the post served as an Army communications hub supporting the Military District of Washington and the Air Force's Alternate National Military Command Center at nearby Raven Rock.
Fort Ritchie closed in September 1998 under the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure round, ending a mission that had employed about 1,000 military and 1,000 civilian personnel on its 638 acres.
In the 2000 census the Fort Ritchie CDP had 276 residents in 83 households, and its population was still 314 in the 2010 census.
The last residents of the former military housing were evicted in June 2017, and the 2020 census counted just 12 people in the CDP, with only 4 of its 98 housing units occupied.
After years under the PenMar Development Corporation, the local reuse authority, Washington County sold about 500 acres of the former post in 2021 to private developer John Krumpotich, who is redeveloping it as a mixed-use community with an emphasis on historic preservation.
The Ritchie History Museum opened on the former post in 2023 to interpret the site's military history.
