Maryland: Accident

N 41° 48.088' W 89° 15.301'

The plotting of present-day Accident in Maryland’s westernmost county of Garrett was, well, a happy accident. In the mid-1700s, state settler George Deakins was given 600 acres of land as a debt repayment from England’s King George II. Deakins employed two engineering crews to survey the best land for development. When the crews, who had no knowledge of each other, came back with their findings, they had traced the exact same plot of land. Deakins named it the Accident Pact.
