History of Allegany County, MD
The western part of Maryland was originally part of Prince George's County when Maryland was formed in 1696. This county included six current counties, and by repeated splitting, new ones were generated: Frederick from Prince George's in 1748; and Montgomery and Washington from Frederick in 1776. Allegany County was formed in 1789 by the splitting of Washington County . At the time it was the westernmost county in Maryland, but a split in 1872 produced Garrett County , the current westernmost county. The county has a number of properties on the National Register of Historic Places . It is the birthplace of Emmy Award winning actress Suzanne Rogers who has credits in both TV and film. She is perhaps best known for her long running role as Maggie Simmons Horton on NBC's Days of our Lives . Miss Rogers originated the role in 1973 and still appears daily on the series as of 2011. She is one of the few actresses to play the same character on a TV series for over 35 years.
