Sometimes popularity really does pay off! Darnestown was once called Mount Pleasant, but was eventually renamed after William Darnes, a popular inhabitant who inherited the land through a marriage.
Darnestown is an unincorporated place with just 6,802 residents. It's got a small-town feel, but if you're ever in the mood for that big city bustle, you can just head east to Rockville or northeast to Gaithersburg. The area's heyday was during the Civil War, when armies camped out there. So it makes sense that there are some historic buildings still left from that time, including Montanverde, an estate where Abraham Lincoln once spent the night. If it's waterfront views you're craving, you'll be glad to know that the Potomac River is just south of this area, while Chesapeake Bay is less than two hours east. Yep, Darnestown certainly has a prime location, which you'll get to enjoy once you pick your preferred rental housing and move in. View Darnestown City Guide
