Laytonsville is a town in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States.

This recipe, essentially a bacon cornbread, also lent the entire area the name of Cracklin District.

The original town extended beyond Laytonsville's current boundaries, along Sundown Road toward the Hawlings River.

The road which would become Route 108 appears in the historical record to have been added in the very early 1800s.

This crossroads provided a major artery for cattle and pigs headed for the bustling markets of Baltimore to the east, and established the town as a comfortable stopover for the drovers.

By the early nineteenth century, substantial brick buildings were being constructed, such as the Layton House and a tavern across the road.

Under the loam lies a subsoil of red clay which assists in holding the moisture for roots even during hot, dry summers.
