Neighborhood
Orangeville Industrial Area
Orangeville Industrial Area reflects Baltimore’s rail and municipal-service history, distinct from the neighboring residential Orangeville community.
Orangeville Industrial Area has a separate identity from the residential neighborhood called Orangeville. The City neighborhood map places it beside Orangeville, Berea, Biddle Street and Orchard Ridge. Its name points toward the industrial side of this east Baltimore landscape, where infrastructure occupies space alongside surrounding rowhouse communities.
A municipal-service history
A City industrial-property inventory recorded the municipal Monument Street landfill property at 3500 East Monument Street within this area. Baltimore’s 2023 solid-waste planning document identifies the Monument Street landfill as closed. It should not be treated as a public disposal destination or confused with an operating convenience center.
Railroads helped shape the wider area
An Amtrak historic-properties study describes the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s Belt Line, built between 1891 and 1895 to connect Camden Station with Bay View Junction at Orangeville. That history helps explain the area’s larger transport setting. The neighborhood is best understood through these service and industrial uses, rather than as a visitor attraction with public access across every property.
