There are so many reasons why I love Hereford. I love Hereford’s rolling hills and blue-ribbon schools, Northern Central Railroad Trail, and various bodies of water, including the Gunpowder River and Pretty Boy Reservoir! The Hereford Zone makes up 20% of all of the land in Baltimore County. This area includes Hereford, Parkton, Monkton, Freeland, Sparks, White Hall, Jacksonville, Upperco, and Glyndon.
