OVERVIEW / HISTORY
Federal Hill is a neighborhood located just Southwest of Baltimore’s Downtown /
Inner Harbor district. Like Fells Point, Federal Hill was an important center
for shipping goods in and out of Baltimore in the 1700’s and 1800’s. The hill
itself (Federal Hill Park) was an important observatory from the late 1700’s
through the early 1900’s, used to spot incoming vessels entering the Baltimore
harbor. During the War of 1812, and later the Civil War, Federal Hill served as
an important military outpost, protecting the citizens of Baltimore.
Nearly demolished in the 1960’s to make way for a highway, Federal Hill was
saved through the valiant work of many hard-working preservationists. In the
1970’s, Federal Hill began a resurgence as people began to rehab many of the
neighborhood’s unique homes. This trend has continued into the next century,
forcing home prices to soar as the area has gained in popularity. Today,
citizens of Federal Hill, enjoy walking in the neighborhoods parks, and
shopping in the popular Cross Street Market.
