Chrome was first discovered in the United States in Baltimore County circa 1808. Isaac Tyson, Jr. operated chromite mines at Soldiers Delight and in other serpentine barrens, and from 1828 to 1850 his mines produced almost all the world’s chromium. The unique beauty of this area is enhanced by rare plants and animals.
