Cumberland in Allegany County
Cumberland is the county seat of Allegany County and the second-largest city in western Maryland. The city sits in the Narrows, a natural gap in the Allegheny Mountains where Wills Creek meets the North Branch of the Potomac River.

The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad operates excursion trains from the restored 1913 station through the mountains to Frostburg.

The C&O Canal National Historical Park towpath starts here and runs 184 miles to Georgetown in Washington, D.C.
Cumberland's economy has transitioned from heavy industry and railroading to healthcare, government, and tourism. UPMC Western Maryland is the region's largest employer. The downtown has seen renovation of historic commercial buildings as the trail tourism economy grows. The city's location at the junction of I-68 and I-70 connects it to the broader region.
