History
Given that it sat aside the turnpike connecting Warrenton and Alexandria, and near Warrenton, the county seat, was a commercial crossroads of military importance, control of the village changed hands a number of times during the war. Several skirmishes and battles took place in and near the village during the Civil War, including the Battle of Brandy Station, First and Second Battles of Bull Run, and Battle of Cedar Mountain. Warrenton, four miles south, included a railroad branch line terminus and it changed hands 67 times during the War.
Following the Battle of Antietam, President Lincoln was frustrated that Gen. McClellan had again failed to destroy Lee's army. He officially ordered that he be removed from command on November 5, 1862. McClellan's headquarters was in the front yard of the New Baltimore home and farm of Julia F. Claggett along the Alexandria Turnpike and Georgetown Road. McClellan visited troops to bid them farewell. Columbia Claggett, Julia Claggett's daughter-in-law, testified that a "parade and transfer of the Army to Gen. Burnside took place on our farm in front of our house in a change of command ceremony at New Baltimore, Virginia on November 9, 1862."
