History/General Information
“Fallston is a semi-rural community consisting mostly of farms and suburban-like developments within Harford County. The county was named for Henry Harford (ca. 1759–1834), the illegitimate son of Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore. The county has a number of properties on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Historical Society of Harford County, one of the oldest county historical societies in Maryland, was established in 1885 to preserve, promote, and interpret the history of the county and its people. Today, it is headquartered on Main Street in downtown Bel Air in the historic 1937 Old Bel Air Post Office Building, where it maintains an archive, exhibit space, and research library.”
