Any idea how Frederick County came to be a part of the "capital region"? I thought only the counties adjacent to D.C. would be part of the capital region.

I'm guessing because it's a bedroom community for DC and the DC 'burbs. A large portion of the working population of Frederick heads down I-270 every day.
I remember when Frederick was the middle of nowhere.

Not only is fredneck not only the bedroom community of DC but to a lesser degree its also the bedroom for bloodymore as well. Out in Oregon its normal for commuters to drive to Portland every day anywhere from 50 to 100 miles each way. A lot of people in The Dalles, OR which is 89 miles from Portland, are in vanpools and they leave anywhere from 3:30am to 4:30am 5 days a week. heck Luray in VA is 100 miles from DC and if you drive along Rt 211 going twords Warrington you will see cars parked at intersection where people meet every morning to commute. The coffee Rush hour at the local 7'11 is 3:30am. It was only a matter of time until it happened. Also Fredrick is part of the Washington Counsel of Governments when it comes to EMS/Firefighting Mutual Aid. In Monkey Cnty all the units begin with the number 7, PG all their units begin with the number 8, Fredneck its number 9. That way if a unit is on mutual aid to a nother county, when they talk on the radio to that county the dispatcher knows they are from a nother county and what county they are from as well.

I do...back in the '60s when I was a teenager they would tell you that you had to be 18 to be allowed in. Two George Washingtons was all the ID you needed to be allowed in.
Gives a whole new meaning to
"The Bearded Lady."

Wow. That was a while ago. My search skills may be lacking.
Saw this map of the regions on wiki:

Looks like it was uploaded in '09. So it appears that its been a part of the capital region for a while.

Wonder if Uncle Joe and Sam Drucker had shows like that at the Pixley Fair?
Some pretty graphic shenanigans!
