Like with all the great communities in Baltimore, Pigtown is no different. When people here Pigtown most things that first pop into most minds are the running of the Pigs down Bayard St. However, Pigtown was much more then the running of the Pigs. Pigtown has a rich history unlike the other communities in Baltimore. Pigtown has the B&O Railroad, Mount Clare Mansion, and Housewerks and what about the bars and restaurants that are located within the boundaries of Pigtown and lastly there is the Historical Hollins Market. Pigtown went even so far as to change the communities name to Washington Village just to bring in a new set of people that would make help make Pigtown the place to go. But Pigtown was not let go, Pigtown stayed and the name stands as Washington Village/Pigtown. Pigtown will always be Pigtown to the residents that lived and worked in this neighborhood.
