Brunswick, incorporated on April 8, 1890, grew with the Potomac River at its heart, a place the Susquehannock Native Americans had known as a good area for fishing and hunting game. For generations, people in Brunswick camped along the river's banks, learned to swim in its waters, and ate from its bounty, while the river remained a constant reminder of the beauty of nature and the need to protect it even as the city changed through the years. The Horine Building, built in 1910, was associated with Dr. Arlington Grove Horine, who owned and operated Horine's Drug Store and Soda Fountain Shop, served as a surgeon with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from 1891 to 1903, and was Brunswick's mayor from 1906 through 1914; until his death in 1956, he was known for serving ice cream to children from behind the counter.
