In recent years, Frederick has grown from a largely agricultural community to the second largest city in the state--a bustling Washington suburb with a population of over 45,000--and it's still growing. Despite this, the city has managed to maintain its small-town charm. The 33-block historic district with its 18th- and 19th-century buildings and the clustered church spires that make up Frederick's skyline are still a main attraction. Antiques and craft shops dominate the downtown shopping area, and Frederick has a vibrant restaurant and bar scene. North and west of the city, the agricultural community still thrives: Fresh produce from local orchards and farms is available all summer, and in early spring newborn foals can be seen romping in the pastures of the county's horse farms.
