I remembering reading something a while back. May have been part of a history of Parkville. There is two suggested origins: Putty Hill - The area has some really great clay (putty). If you are familiar with the Giant shopping center on BelAir Road (just north of the beltway) - before it was built, it was a bunch of little undulating mounds of clay. The other is the it is a corruption of 'Pretty Hill'. Diana -----Original Message----- From: Betty V.
