[edit] History

By the early 1900s, Mayfield was mostly farmland through a main road to Harford County ran. Most of the area was owned by Judge Dobler, Charles Knox and Theresa Skirven. Improvements were slated for the Harford Road--paving, regrading, and the running of electrical and telephone wires underground. The estates were surveyed and laid out into streets and lots, especially Dobler's larger acreage. Lots were sold and houses built. Judge Dobler's home (now the Disney House) and the Eutaw Methodist Church were among the first to be built on Mayfield Avenue. 1909 marked the laying of the cornerstone for the church. The original Eutaw Church on the hill at Hall's Spring remains. It serves as a picnic area in Herring Run Park.[2]
