Approximate Location Boundaries: According to legend, the famous race between Peter Cooper's iron engine, the Tom Thumb, and a horse-drawn carriage took place at Relay on the return trip from Ellicott's Mills in August 1830. The horse won this race, but steam engines steadily improved and the railroad became a vital link in the town's economy.

Location Characteristics: Beautiful Howard County with rolling hills, excellent highway system, and great schools - a wonderful place to live!!!
