Origin: Carroll County was formed in 1837 from the western part of Baltimore and the eastern part of Frederick Counties (Chapter 256, Acts of 1835; confirmed by Chapter 19, Acts of 1836, which was passed January 19, 1837). So if you are interested in the era before 1837 please check Baltimore County or Frederick County Sources and Information. Carroll County includes what were in 1800 the North Hundred, Pipe Creek Hundred, Delaware Upper Hundred and Delaware Lower Hundred of Baltimore County. It included the Pipe Creek, Westminster, Unity, Burnt House, Piney Creek, and Taneytown Hundreds of Frederick County. The County was named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832), Revolutionary War statesman and a Maryland signer of Declaration of Independence.
