German immigrant Jonathan Hager bought 200 acres in the Great Appalachian Valley in 1739 and called the tract Hager's Fancy, then officially founded the town in 1762 as Elizabethtown, named for his wife, Elizabeth Kershner.

About 2,800 Confederate dead from the battles of Antietam and South Mountain were re-interred in 1877 in the Washington Confederate Cemetery, within Hagerstown's Rose Hill Cemetery.
