Chiropractor Laurel MD

Some local historic sites of note include: the Laurel Park Racecourse, which is a thoroughbred racetrack which remains in operation after having opened in 1911; there was an automobile racing track built-in 1925, which is no longer operating. When prohibition was repealed in 1934, there was a brewery planned to be placed next to the Laurel Park racetrack, but these plans were not followed up on. As part of its development, in 1912 the city built its first sewer system, which dumped into the Patuxent River. Thankfully, this was changed when in 1960 when grants were filed to complete proper sewage infrastructure. Laurel MD had other growing pains as well, with racial tensions in 1960 producing the attempted burning of a traditionally black church as well as a private home in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. It wasn't however, until 1967 that a public pool facility was open as an integrated facility. Some growing pains were in the form of natural disasters. In 1972 Hurricane Agnes caused the greatest flooding ever recorded in Maryland, with the Howard Duckett Dam holding back the Rocky Gorge Reservoir, poised just upstream along the Patuxent River from Laurel MD. Following this threat, the city of Laurel MD passed ordinances that created a protected district around the Main Street region, where the Patuxent River flowed. Much Closer to the current time, the home that had belonged to mill workers on Main Street was renovated and became the Laurel Museum in 1996.

Laurel MD continues to grow, with the most recent 2010 Census counting over 25,000 people residing in Laurel MD. With its proximity to larger cities, and it's largely suburban and commuter home feel, Laurel MD will likely have more to add to its history.
