It cites 1972 employment figures, 1810 production, and 1895 city directories showing broad services and industries. It notes the expansion of dairies, canneries, and farm machinery as farming mechanizes.

Frederick County Growth Fueled by Detrick and Highways

The county's growth over decades stems from proximity to Baltimore and Washington and the expansion of federal activities. Camp Detrick became Fort Detrick, boosting military and civilian jobs and spurring new communities. By 1970 the population reached 84,927, with projections for 1980 near 105,500 as highways lure industry and commuters, while farming declines.
