This is a great view of Sykesville. There are various stories of how Sykesville got its name. Sykesville was first known as Shaffer City or Shaffer Town in honor of the first resident, Henry Shaffer. In 1883, the town was plotted out and lots were sold. Jacob Bilger Sykes was born June 9, 1852 and died May 7, 1916. He owned the upper end of what is now called Sykesville in 1884. Sometime in the early 1900s, Shaffer City became known as Sykesville. Sykesville is the birthplace of Olga Madar (1915–1996), first woman to be a vice-president in the United Auto Workers (1970) and founder of the Coalition of Labor Union Women in 1974. Enjoy the View!
