Beautiful Caroline County...there must be something in the water if you look at the average longevity of those who were born and lived there.  Even Herb Collins, Caroline historian and longtime resident with an admirable family ancestry, made special note of the large number of those who lived well into their 80's, 90's and even 100's.

Explore some these links that will take you to some useful and informative Caroline sites. Learn about the history of the area, the founding of the county and the prominent names that still ring out through the generations which continue to  bear those family identities.
