The Montpelier area has a rich history dating back to 1685 when it was part of a land grant given to Richard Snowden, Sr. by Lord Baltimore. Richard Snowden arrived in Maryland as an indentured servant and eventually became one of the largest landowners. The Snowden family built and lived in the Montpelier mansion that is a symbol of their success, financially and socially.
The Montpelier community is a Planned Urban Development (PUD) and as such it has registered covenants and restrictions as set forth in our Governing Documents. The purpose of these covenants is to provide a structured means of maintaining standards that contribute to an attractive community where friends will want to live, raise families, and later on want to retire.
