Frederick County straddles the boundary between the Piedmont Plateau Region and the Appalachian Mountains. The county's two prominent ridges, Catoctin Mountain and South Mountain, form an extension of the Blue Ridge. The Middletown Valley lies between them.
Frederick County was created in 1748 by the Province of Maryland from parts of Prince George's County and Baltimore County.
