The village was founded in 1829 at the meeting point of two early shipping canals and took its name from Charles Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. You can still spot nods to that history around town, including a colorful canal mural near the local library branch. If you are looking for open space, a slower daily pace, and simple highway access, Carroll makes a comfortable place to call home.
