Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FROSTBURG , a- town of Allegany county,
Maryland
 , U.S.A., it m. W. of
Cumberland
 . Pop. (189o) 3804; (1900) 5274 (J78 foreign-born and 236 negroes); (1910) 6028. It is served by the
Cumberland
  &
Pennsylvania
  railway and the Cumberland & Westernport electric railway. The town is about 2000 ft. above sea-level on a
plateau
  between the
Great
  Savage and Dams mountains, and its delightful scenery and air have made it attractive as a summer resort. It is the seat of the second state normal school, opened in 1904. Frostburg is in the midst of the coal region of the state, and is itself almost completely under-
mined
 ; it has planing mills and manufactures large quantities of fire-brick. The municipality owns and operates its water-works. Natural gas is piped to Frostburg from the West Virginia fields, 120 M. away. Frostburg was first settled in 1812; was called
Mount
  Pleasant until about 1830, when the present name was substituted in honour of Meshech Frost, one of the town's founders; and was incorporated in 187o.
