Highlights
The southeast Baltimore County neighborhood was established in 1895 by Henry McShane, a local foundryman. Before Dundalk was a neighborhood, it was a small station -- named after McShane's hometown in Ireland -- on the Baltimore and Sparrows Point Railroad. Dundalk's aging housing projects, which once provided shelter to World War II workers, are targets of development. In early 2007, demolition began on the crime-ridden Yorkway Apartments. Other complexes just need some updates and structural repairs. County officials also hope to attract local businesses to the area by sprucing up Dundalk Avenue and the Dundalk Village Shopping Center.
