History

There is evidence for settlement in the town around 1700, but not much before that time. Darlington had a stagecoach line to Baltimore and a lot of traffic from the Susquehanna and the Tidewater Canal had to go through it.

The Darlington Academy was built in 1836 and used to be a popular school in Harford County. Additionally, almost 100 years later in 1928 the Conowingo Dam was built and made it easier to travel across.

Local children attend the Darlington Elementary School near the center of town. The elementary school has one class per grade level (K through 5), and two autism classrooms. There is no high school in Darlington, so students usually enroll in Havre De Grace High School.[4]

An annual apple festival is held in Darlington the first Saturday in October, and attracts almost 60,000 people.[1]

Darlington and the surrounding communities are provided fire and EMS service by the Darlington Volunteer hobbyist Company.

The Darlington public library, formally located within the town, was moved to the nearby intersection of Maryland Route 136 and U.S. Route 1 in October 2022.[5] Darlington also has several houses of worship, including Franklin Baptist Church, Harmony Presbyterian Church, Grace Episcopal Church, Darlington United Methodist Church, Deer Creek Friends Meetinghouse, and Hosanna AME Church located in historic Berkley, Maryland.
