Settled on the banks of the Potomac River, Cumberland has watched time and progress stream through since its days as a fort in the colonial wilderness. Ascending the throne as the "Queen of the Alleghenies," the town became an essential transportation and industrial hub throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Serving as the starting point for the National Road, the western terminus of the C&O Canal, and an important link along the B&O and Western Maryland Railroads, Cumberland attracted dozens of industries that churned out glass, textiles, tires, and even local brews. Prosperity and growth began to reshape the town, and soon distinct neighborhoods found their own identities while maintaining their strong links to Cumberland as a whole. Despite a post-war decline in its industrial sector, Cumberland continues to be a vibrant town of hardworking people who remain proud of their rich heritage and traditions. Selected from a variety of local sources, photographs in Images of America: Cumberland offer unique and memorable views of the people and places that have defined Cumberland over the past 150 years.

Harriette Arnow’s search for truth as early American settlers knew it began as a child—the old songs, handed-down stories, and proverbs that colored her world compelled her on a journey that informs her depiction of the Cumberland River Valley in Kentucky and Tennessee. Arnow drew from court records, wills, inventories, early newspapers, and unpublished manuscripts to write Seedtime on the Cumberland, which chronicles the movement of settlers away from the coast, as well as their continual refinement of the “art of pioneering.” A companion piece, this evocative history covers the same era, 1780–1803, from the first settlement in what was known as “Middle Tennessee” to the Louisiana Purchase. When Middle Tennessee was the American frontier, the men and women who settled there struggled for survival, land, and human dignity. The society they built in their new home reflected these accomplishments, vulnerabilities, and ambitions, at a time when America was experiencing great political, industrial, and social upheaval.

Cumberland Gold-white sand, green water-what not to like about this island? Why are people attracted to some islands and not others? Wilder knew he was hooked like a speckled trout the first time he took his new twenty-four-foot Sea Pro boat into Christmas Creek located on Cumberland Island's north end. He had just passed a lighthouse on the high sand dunes and realized not many people even knew it existed on this Georgia Island. He had learned some history of the island, revealing it had been designated a national seashore to "preserve the scenic, scientific, and historical character of the island." He remembered the lesson Captain Bo Sam had taught him as to how Christmas Creek got its name. Indians who lived there centuries ago reported you always received gifts there-fish, oysters, clams, crabs-all while watching wild horses frolic down the beach. Wilder also learned about the gold hidden on the island, but finding it would become quite an adventure for him and a couple of friends. Let's all climb aboard his boat and begin to understand why the earth is three-fourths water and one-fourth land. Can you guess why?
