About Vale Summit

Set in the hills of Allegany County, Vale Summit is a quiet community with deep roots in western Maryland's historic mining country. Long before it got its current name, it was known locally as Pompey Smash, an 1840s nickname inspired by a runaway coal wagon. Today, it is a peaceful spot in the Georges Creek area, offering scenic mountain views and a relaxed pace of life just minutes from Frostburg.
