In the 19th and early 20th centuries Jewish immigrants to the Baltimore area first formed enclaves in East Baltimore not far from Johns Hopkins Hospital in neighborhoods such as Broadway East, Jonestown, Middle East and Oliver. After World War II, the Jewish community moved outside of Baltimore City into Pikesville, a sleepy outpost on a major road that led to Western Maryland. During the Vietnam War, and exacerbated by riots in 1968, many Jewish businesses left northwestern Baltimore following this exodus.

Pikesville (and more recently its neighboring communities to the north, Owings Mills and Reisterstown) have been considered the center of the Baltimore area's Jewish community since the mid-1950s. Many of the region's largest and most established synagogues, Jewish schools, and kosher dining establishments are located in or near Pikesville.

[edit]

Pikesville, Maryland, was named for the American soldier and explorer Zebulon Pike (1779–1813). While there are places named for Pike in many other states, Pikesville, Maryland, is the only contemporary place named "Pikesville".

The region now known as Pikesville, located in Baltimore County, was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Piscataway and Nentego (also known as Nanticoke) peoples, who utilized the area's woodlands and waterways for hunting, fishing, and agriculture prior to European contact. European colonization of the broader County area commenced in the mid-17th century, following the county's formal establishment around 1659–1660 as part of the , with early settlers primarily engaging in farming on land grants amid ongoing displacement of indigenous populations through treaties and conflicts. The specific community of Pikesville emerged in the early as a planned village on land owned by Dr. James Smith, a physician who subdivided his property to create an early suburban enclave approximately 9 miles northwest of central , facilitating access via emerging turnpikes like the Baltimore-Reisterstown Road.
