Lower cost of living and higher quality of life makes our county one of Maryland's lesser-known gems.
Walkable and vibrant neighborhoods aren't just found in major metro areas. As a rural county with two urban cores, the university town of Frostburg and the historic city of Cumberland, Allegany County offers a unique alternative for those wanting to escape the expense and congestion of larger cities. As a Maryland jurisdiction, Allegany County maintains the high standards of public education found in the rest of the state. Our county is also the crossroads of world-class trail systems and home to four state parks and a state forest. After a day on the trails or hiking a mountain, our residents like to end the day in one of our many breweries, almost always accompanied by a live band and food trucks.
Breweries, Live Music and Trails Abound
