Instead, it's part of the larger Baltimore County area. The post office uses the ZIP code 21013 for Baldwin.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place that does not have its own separate local government. It is managed by the larger county or region it is in. For example, Baldwin is governed by Baltimore County. This is different from a city or town that has its own mayor and city council.
A Look Back in Time
Long ago, a train called the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad used to pass through Baldwin. This train served the community until 1958.
A special place in Baldwin is Hidden Valley Farm. In 1983, this farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This is a list of important buildings, sites, and objects in the United States that are worth preserving for the future.
