Fort Holabird


Fort Holabird was a U.S. Army post in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, from 1918 to 1973.

History

Fort Holabird was located in the southeast corner of the city and northwest of the suburban developments of Dundalk, Maryland, in surrounding Baltimore County, fronting on Holabird Avenue between Broening Highway and Dundalk Avenue. From 1941 until the end of World War II. The military installation grew to include approximately 350 acres and 286 buildings. After the Second World War, activities at Fort Holabird were curtailed and portions of the property were transferred from the Army. The largest land transfers occurred in the timeframe over three decades later following the Vietnam War, between 1977 and 1979, when 223 acres were transferred to the City of Baltimore. The City later developed the land in succeeding years into the Fort Holabird Industrial Park.
