Woodland is a small place in Allegany County, Maryland, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a neighborhood that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. It's also a census-designated place (CDP), which is an area the government counts for population statistics.
Woodland is located about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Frostburg. It's also just east of another community called Klondike.
History of Woodland
Woodland began as a coal town around the early 1900s. A coal town is a community built mainly for people who work in coal mines nearby. These towns often grew quickly as mining became important.
In the past, Woodland had a community church where people gathered. There was also a convenience store for daily needs. Over time, as the town changed, both of these buildings were turned into homes. This shows how places can change as industries and populations shift.
