The Town of Brookeville, founded in 1794 by Richard Thomas Jr. and his wife Deborah, is a historically significant rural settlement located in Upper Montgomery County, Maryland, approximately 18 miles north of Washington, D.C. Covering around 60 acres and consisting of 55 individual properties, it has an estimated population of 135 residents.
Notably, during the War of 1812, Brookeville served as a refuge for those fleeing the British forces, with President James Madison temporarily residing there, which earned the town the title of U.S. Capital for a Day. Today, Brookeville continues to celebrate its rich history while fostering a close-knit community atmosphere.
