By 1806, Harper's Ferry was a well-settled community. Travelers on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad crossed the Potomac River there, and the town was home to a quiet and industrious population. In October 1859, the town became famous when John Brown, a radical abolitionist, seized the Federal arsenal, committing what many consider the first act of the American Civil War.
More notoriety came in September 1862 when Harper's Ferry became the site of the largest mass surrender of U.S. military personnel until Bataan.
