Braddock Heights, Maryland, is a town named after General Edward Braddock. General Braddock was sent from England to stop the French from acquiring land claimed by the British. On April 29th, 1755, Gen. Braddock and his escorts, which included a young Lt. Col. George Washington, left Frederick town, stopping at a spring along the road (now known as Braddock Heights) that became the National Pike. They continued through Middletown Valley turning south to Sharpsburg before heading towards Fort Duquesne where General Braddock was mortally wounded during an ambush seven miles from the fort on July 9th, 1755.
