Return to Index History & History Related Items Thurmont history: Thurmont was once known as Mechanicstown because of the great many industrial type businesses and activities in the area. The name was changed to Thurmont on 18 January 1894. The local newspaper editor, Charles E. Cassell, suggested a change to: Thurmont - "gateway to the mountain." He felt it was much more fitting for the expanding town. The founder of Thurmont was Jacob Weller. He and other german settlers looked for an area which reminded them of their German homeland, not only in countryside, but also in the elements needed for their trades. The first US Presidential "getaway," - Shangri-La, was created in Catoctin Mountain Park by Franklin Roosevelt. It was later re-named by President Eisenhower to the now familiar name of "Camp David."
