What’s in a Name?
One of the most common questions about the community is how it got its name. Originally named Smithville, the town changed its name on July 28, 1884, to avoid postal confusion with another Pennsylvania post office. Local history offers a few popular theories for the pick:
Named directly for the year the local post office was built (1884).
Named in honor of Grover Cleveland’s 1884 presidential election victory.
Derived from the mile marker on the local Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad line.
National Corporate Headquarters
Eighty Four is famous nationwide as the birthplace and global headquarters of 84 Lumber, the nation's largest privately held supplier of building materials. Founded in 1956 by Joe Hardy, the company took its name from the town and remains a major regional economic anchor.
Equestrian & Agricultural Heritage
The area’s open fields and gently rolling topography make it a hub for horse farms, livestock operations, and agricultural preserves. Eighty Four is widely known in the region for its equestrian boarding facilities, riding trails, and local farm markets.
