Remington is a neighborhood in northern Baltimore bordered to the north by Hampden, Wyman Park, and Johns Hopkins University and to the east by Charles Village.
In addition to the water-powered factories along the Jones Falls, quarries in the Remington area operated for over 100 years and provided an enormous amount of stone for the building of Baltimore, furnishing material for thousands of foundations, walls and steps.
Many of these families traced their origins back to coal towns in Western Pennsylvania and hollows in southern West Virginia.
These coal-mining families migrated to Baltimore in the 1950s and 1960s, searching for better jobs and better socioeconomic conditions than their parents and grandparents generations had access to.
Middle Remington refers to the part of the neighborhood bounded by 29th Street on the north and the CSX rail corridor on the south.
It is also more commercial in nature, with numerous historical corner businesses, light industrial uses, restaurants, and auto repair shops interspersed among the rowhouses that dominate the neighborhood's housing stock.
The majority of the land area here is commercial and light industrial, but there are also a few blocks of rowhouses that feel secluded due to their isolation from other residential neighborhoods.
Lower Remington is directly south of the proposed 25th Street Station development, which will likely transform the character of the area.
