Cooksville is an unincorporated community in Howard County, Maryland, United States.[1] As of 2016, the population was 631. The town was founded by Thomas Cook in 1802.[2] The crossroads town was anchored by the Joshua Roberts Tavern, where General Lafayette visited in 1824. The inn was destroyed by fire, rebuilt, and demolished a second time.[3] Thomas Cook exchanged his stake in Cooksville with Thomas Beale Dorsey for the 231-acre Round About Hills slave plantation. A Post Office opened on the 4th of July 1851, the same year Howard County was formed from a portion of Anne Arundel County.[4] Roberts Inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[5]
On June 29, 1863, J. E. B. Stuart marched 5000 confederate soldiers through Cooksville en route to Westminster.[6]
