Return to Index History & History Related Items Emmitsburg history: Emmitsburg was founded on 5 March 1785 by Samuel Emmit. Samuel deeded the lots to his son, William, for the purpose of founding a town. William then sold lots and began to build up the new town. The area where the town would be built had often been referred to as Poplar Field because of all the Poplar trees that grew on the property. During the Civil War, the town was burned about half way on 23 June 1863. Some say a Union supporter started the fire to keep the Confederate army from the supplies in town. Though disastrous, the fire did keep the battle away from Emmitsburg. Instead, it took place in Gettysbury nearby. Try this history page for Emmitsburg.
