Oldtown is a community in Allegany County, Maryland along the North Branch Potomac River founded in eighteenth century colonial times.

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.
