During the post-war boom in the 1950s, Montgomery County’s population more than doubled in size and rivaled the population booms of  Los Angeles and Houston. The number of residents in the County had shot up from 164,401 to 340,928, increasing by 107%.

The thriving job market in MoCo helped facilitate its growing population. In the 1960s, multiple federal government agencies in Montgomery County, such as Walter Reed Hospital Annex and the National Institute of Health, continually employed professional workers. Other private businesses like IBM Federal Systems, Inc. and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory were also offering work.


This week we’ve got two more recipes from the 1988 Montgomery County Fair Cookbook.  If you have any MoCo themed recipes for us to try, send them to [email protected] and we will share them here. If we end up using your recipe, we’ll send you a nice gift! Next week we’ll moving away from the retro style dishes and we’ll be doing recipes provided by the Montgomery County Beekeepers Association.
