Ellicott City was named after the three Ellicott brothers. When the brothers decided to create a mill the area was mostly wilderness. The brothers not only founded the settlement, but also ensured its prosperity by introducing new agricultural ideas. They convinced incoming farmers to plant wheat instead of tobacco, and introduced the idea of using fertilizer to enrich soil that had been depleted. Because of their contributions Ellicott City thrived.
