Places to stay in Oldtown, Maryland
Oldtown is a community in Allegany County, Maryland along the North Branch Potomac River founded in eighteenth century colonial times. The settlement was initially called "Shawanese Old Town" because it was the site of a Shawnee Amerindian village abandoned about a decade earlier. In later years the explanatory prefix was dropped from the name and the place because known simply as "Oldtown. Oldtown was begun with the building of a trading post along an old Native American trail, the Nemacolin Trail, as traders, especially fur traders pushed over the Cumberland Narrows Mountain pass into the Monongahela River valley and found the trail could make a safe descent along a reasonable grade down to the river in the area of a river ford overlooked by the bluffs and mounds of the Redstone Old Fort area, now Brownsville in Fayette County in Western Pennsylvania.

Cafe Gia ( Dining / Other ). Located at 410 South High Street, Baltimore, 1 mile from the center of Oldtown. In 1953, Giovanna Aquia, along with her father Pasquale, her mother Rosa, and her little brother Salvatore (Sammy) embarked on a journey that would forever change their lives. The family boarded the famous Italian luxury liner the “Andrea Doria” and made their way to America from Cefalu, Sicily. They entered the U.S. via NYC and arrived to their final destination, Little Italy, Baltimore on June 23, 1953. Giovanna likes to say “At a time when no one liked to move around, our family traveled 3500 miles and we haven’t moved 200 feet since.” Yes, they came to Little Italy and stayed, and would, in time, create an eclectic Baltimore Italian Restaurant!
In the years that the Aquia family has lived in Little Italy has made their lives a great deal easier to cope with since they couldn’t be with their family in Italy.
