The Baltimore County Water and Electric Company operated here from 1910 to 1922, supplying pressurized water to parts of Baltimore city, Baltimore County, and Howard County under founder Victor G. Bloede, and the plant was managed by Baltimore City until 1928. Earlier, this site was Dorsey Forge, which supplied guns during the American Revolution in 1775. In 1822 the Ellicott Brothers acquired the forge and expanded its operations until 1868, when it was abandoned after a flood. The State of Maryland purchased the property in 1954, and it became part of Patapsco State Park.
