About Jefferson

Jefferson is a quiet, scenic community of about 2,200 residents in southwestern Frederick County. Established in the late 18th century, it has held onto its peaceful rural character, with historic farmhouses, rolling pastures, and quiet country roads defining the area. It offers a relaxed, small-town atmosphere where neighbors look out for one another and open land is never far away.

Set near the base of Catoctin Mountain, Jefferson gives you the feel of countryside living with easy access to everyday conveniences. U.S. Route 340 runs right past town, putting downtown Frederick's shops, restaurants, and employers about a ten-minute drive to the northeast. Commuters also appreciate being just a few miles from the Brunswick MARC train station, which provides a direct rail option into the Washington, D.C. area while letting you come home to a slower pace of life.
