This image doesn't belong here. It belongs maybe on Frederick, County article, but is not representative of Frederick City. I will take some pictures next time I am in the area. MB 19:52 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)


Agreed, I live there, a nice picture of downtown at christmas or the clustered spires would be nice :).--Crucio 23:56, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Flag

I removed the flag, being that it is not the flag of the City of Frederick but the Flag of Frederick County. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 05:05, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fourth largest city in Maryland?

According to both the Rockville and the Frederick articles, they are both the fourth most populous cities in the state of Maryland. Which is larger? And which census updates are used to determine these? Alex 05:43, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History Section

I'm from Frederick and I always love hearing about its history. Would anyone like to create a history section for this page? I would dearly love to, but I don't really have the time or know where to find the most important information. So if someone out there would like to at least start this, I would be very grateful.

[edit] Arts Section

Needs a rewrite. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.174.177.138 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC).


The mention of colleges in Frederick, MD and also the mention of a sister city seem to have no relevance to the arts and should be in a different section. ----jake brooks, march 27th, 2008

[edit] Schools Section

The schools section listed here should be moved to the county page because the county serves as the basis for the school system in MD. When I get around to it, I will move the information into the county page, clean it up, and hopefully create an article for the FCPS too.Jason Smith 02:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silver Spring

Both this article and Silver Spring make competing claims about the second largest city in MD. Korossyl 05:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Population

Frederick according to the population stats is the second largest city in Maryland, although it says third on this page. I believe third is actually Gaithersburg. But how do you edit that top section? 76.100.227.156 19:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

No - follow the link (in turn to the rank link on the Census page). Frederick is third, behind Baltimore and Gaithersburg.

[edit] Tyler's Spite House

The spite house no longer serves as a bed and breakfast. the owner passed away (or so I heard) and it now serves as the main office of a new design firm, The Design Method Group. Toxicityj (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
