Canton, an industrial community in southeast Baltimore, is the product of over one hundred years of planned development supervised by the Canton Company, a real estate development firm.
The Canton Company, formed in 1828, at one time owned approximately three thousand acres (in he Canton area), including over two miles of prime commercial frontage on the Patapsco River. Although the majority of the original industrial fabric in Canton has been replaced by its modern counterparts, several warehouses, the residential neighborhoods and the social composition of Canton have retained much of their historic character. The numerous blocks of brick rowhouses interspersed with several frame, brick and stone churches provide an uninterrupted picture of a working-class neighborhood in the second half of the 19th century.
