On August 16, 1818, the trial of the Reverend Jacob
Gruber for sedition and incitement to revolt began in
Frederick with Roger Brooke Taney as one of his
defense attorneys.

On August 16, 1853, the first house built in Frederick,
at the corner of East Patrick Street and Maxwell Avenue
(today), was torn down.

On August 16, 1911, Dr. Steiner Schley, a prominent
Frederick pharmacist, died.
