Maryland official disputes Frederick County population decline
A letter from A. W. Hederich, head of Maryland Vital Records and Statistics, confirms Dr. Forbes H. Burgess’s view that Frederick County’s population has increased since 1950 rather than declined. The state cites revised census methods and more complete data, noting growth above the national average. The source ends with a note on etymology of the word brandy from Dutch.
