Brick Wall Landing, Maryland

Brick Wall Landing is a populated place in Caroline County, Maryland, United States.

[1] The settlement is located on the Choptank River, 3.2 mi (5.1 km) north of Denton.

[1] Robert Hardcastle arrived from England in 1748 and settled at this location.

[2] Around 1790, Robert or his son John erected a grist mill, as well as a two-story brick house which depicted "the affluence of a miller during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century".

[2][3][4] The Hardcastles prospered in the county as millers, businessmen, land owners and slave owners, while their location on the river became a local shipping center and turning point for boats.
