The Patapsco Valley is a tiny valley in central Maryland that is surrounded by the Patapsco River and its tributaries. A significant economic and industrial hub in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the region is well-known for its historical significance as a result.
John Smith was the first European to examine the river, and he named it the Bolus River on his 1612 map of the area. The “Red river,” so named because of the color of the clay, is regarded to be the “ancient Bolus” because other branches of the river were also labeled Bolus on maps. Because the river was not navigable beyond Elkridge, it was not a major route for commerce, with only one ship identified as serving the northern branch and four others operating around the mouth in 1723, according to the American Historical Society.
