 | | Cumberland is named after the son of King George II, Prince William, the Duke of Cumberland. |
 | | Cumberland was a key road, railroad and canal junction during the 1800s and at one time the second largest city in Maryland (second to the port city of Baltimore--hence its nickname "The Queen City"). |
 | | In the NBC television show, The Office, a character applies for a job at a "Cumberland Mills" in Maryland, which presumably refers to the Westvaco paper company located near Cumberland, which is one of the largest private employers in the area. |
