Mount Airy, named by a freezing railroad brakeman
Mount Airy grew from Henry Bussard's 1837 store and tavern after he sold the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad a right-of-way in 1838, reportedly named by a freezing Irish brakeman crossing windy Parr's Ridge, before incorporating in 1894. Roofs on one of Mount Airy's 1830s-90s railroad-era homes should be assessed against construction from before the town's 1894 incorporation.
