Double Pipe Creek, sometimes called Pipe Creek, is a major tributary of the Monocacy River in Carroll County and Frederick County in Maryland, located several miles north and west of Westminster. The creek is only 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long, [1] but is formed by the confluence of two much longer streams, Big Pipe Creek and Little Pipe Creek.

The first settlement created by the settlers of the county was Monocacy, [3] which was founded between 1725 and 1730, [1] [2] making it the oldest settlement in Western Maryland. [3] The town was settled nearby the Monocacy Trail, an old Indian trail that ran along the Monocacy River. [3] In 1730, the Monocacy Trail was made into a wagon road. [2]
Monocacy was founded before 1730 (when the Indian trail became a wagon road) and was abandoned before the American Revolutionary War, likely due to the river's periodic flooding, hostilities predating the French and Indian War, or simply Frederick's better location with easier access to the Potomac River near its confluence with the Monocacy.
The original plan for the railroad called for it to cross the Monocacy River below Tuscarora Creek and therefore, no bridge was located by Gitt in 1867. The finalized location for the railroad called for a bridge over Tuscarora Creek approximately 300 feet south of the Monocacy River crossing for the road.
Monocacy station is located at 7800 Genstar Drive, a cul-de-sac with a large parking lot off the east side of Maryland Route 355 in Frederick. It was built on the old Frederick Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The architects of Cochran, Stephenson & Donkervoet, Inc. designed the small station to resemble B&O stations from the past.
