For many years, the community was mostly farmland but was later divided into building lots by the Buchanan, Roberts and Long families. CSX Transportation tracks skirt the community along the river; in earlier years, a predecessor maintained the Roberts train station which has since been closed.
Within the boundaries of the community are the Upper Potomac Industrial Park, the Allegany County Fairgrounds, the Western Correctional Institution, and approximately 850 homes, apartments, and businesses.
