[4] Located in southeastern Washington County Maryland, Eakle's Mill is a remnant of a typical 19th century rural farm community.

Originally surrounded by farms and orchards, which provided abundant jobs during the manual labor era prior to mechanization, Eakle's Mill as other similar sites, became a thriving village.

Jeremiah Snyder founded a Sunday school in the schoolhouse in 1877, which spawned the Eakle's Mill United Brethren Church in 1887.

A sect that was philosophically opposed to slavery and so, is thought to be a contributing factor enabling the sizable free African American population living in the surrounding area decades prior to the civil war.

Once home to a mill, store, school and church, no public entities remain in the village.
