.A Brief History of Carney, Maryland
In 1880, Thomas Carney immigrated
to the United States from Ireland and settled in Texas,
Maryland. Soon after his arrival, he married the former
Mary McDermot and bought forty and a half acres on the
southeast side of the Baltimore and Harford Turnpike.
Several years later (about 1885),
the Carney family moved to what is now Harford and Joppa
Roads where Thomas Carney opened a general store which is
believed to have served as the Eight Mile House on the
turnpike. The store was located on the site presently
occupied by the Barn Restaurant. In the 1880's and 1890's
the store also served as the Carney family home.
When the family grew too large for
the store, Mr., Carney built a new house on the hill behind
the store. The house was completed in about 1898 and stood
in the vicinity of what is now Thornewood Court. Thirty-five
years later, the Carney house was moved to its present
location at the corner of Joppa and Avondale Roads and is
now a real estate office.
With the passage of time and the
suburban growth of Baltimore County, the land once owned by
the Carney family has been sold to individuals and
developers. However, the reference to Carney’s meaning and
the general store run by Mr. Carney, has been shortened to
Carney and now appears on all Maryland maps. The Carney
family name is now carried by area businesses and clubs. Two
institutions, the Carney Library and the Carney Elementary
School also carry the name. Little did Thomas Carney, an
industrious Irish immigrant, realize that his memory would
live on by a community which bears his name.
