Colonel John Klinehoff Longwell was a Carroll County founding
father who lived from 1810 to 1896.
Colonel Longwell was a newspaper publisher. At the age of
23, Longwell established the Carrolltonian newspaper in 1833 and proceeded to play
a leading role in the formation of Carroll County out of parts of Frederick and
Baltimore Counties, in January 1837 - and took an active part in all of its
affairs. He became widely known as a civic and financial leader in the county.
In 1842 he established a farm just outside of town, north of
Westminster and began construction of a huge mansion home on his estate he
called “Emerald Hill.” He was elected State Senator in 1850 and 1871; president
of Baltimore and Reisterstown Turnpike in 1858; was a director of the Union
National Bank and later served as the bank president 39 years from 1857 to 1896.
He also served as a Carroll County Commissioner.
Longwell also helped establish the Westminster English and
Mathematical Academy, the West End Academy and the Westminster Female Institute;
and served as a board trustee for Western Maryland College.
Col. Longwell will be the topic of a presentation at the
county’s annual birthday celebration at Grace Lutheran Church on Sat. Jan 16,
2016.
