Ruxton, Baltimore County, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruxton is an unincorporated area in Baltimore County, Maryland. Ruxton is sometimes considered a part of Towson and it's a part of Towson's census area.
The boundaries of Ruxton have been established largely by local custom. Both the eastern boundary, Charles Street, and the western, Fall Road, are generally agreed upon. The northern and southern boundaries are somewhat imprecise. To the northeast, Ruxton and neighboring Riderwood are bounded by the Baltimore Beltway (I-695); to the northwest, affiliation with Ruxton follows West Joppa Road, the Old Court Road extension alongside the York-Harrisburg Expressway (I-81), and finally Ruxton Road to the intersection with Falls. A southern boundary can be discerned by drawing a crude line from the southerly intersection of Bellona Avenue and Charles to the intersection of West Lake Avenue and Falls.
