Catonsville| Town in Baltimore County, central Maryland, USA, immediately southwest of Baltimore; population (1990) 35,200. Catonsville is a primarily residential suburb, with some light industry; manufactures include electrical, chemical, and cotton products. |
| Founded by Quakers in the 1720s, the settlement was known as Johnnycake, after a local inn, until 1800. The Baltimore County Campus of the University of Maryland (1963) and a community college are here. Catonsville gained national recognition when a group of Vietnam War protesters, subsequently known as the ‘Catonsville Nine’, burned records of the local draft board in 1968. |
