History

Eldersburg is named after John Elder, who was given a land grant from the King of England. The community was served by a post office in April 1850 in the Howard district of Anne Arundel County with the name “Eldersburgh.” In 1851, Howard County was formed, and on October 28, 1871, the post office moved to Carroll County, retaining the “Eldersburgh” spelling. In December 1894, “Eldersburgh” was shortened to “Eldersburg”. The Moses Brown House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church was listed in 1984.
