Historic marker about water power and milling along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Brunswick, Maryland
A view of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Lock 30 in Brunswick Maryland.
Originally built in 1833, it was enlarged on the upper end in later years to allow two boats to pass through simultaneously.
In 1836, the canal company purchased a nearby house to serve as lock house rather than build a new one. It no longer exists today.
The settlement was established as Berlin in 1780, and also went by Eeltown and Barry until it was officially changed to Brunswick in 1890.
The first bridge over the Potomac here was completed in 1859 by the Loudoun and Berlin Bridge Company. It was destroyed during the Civil War in 1861. Pontoon bridges served military needs for the rest of the conflict.
An iron bridge was erected in 1893, and lasted until the flood of 1936.
The current Brunswick Bridge was completed in 1955.
