The town is named after the Cockey family which helped build it. Through the generations they added a hotel and train station and started a bank. Limestone and marble were discovered in the Texas Quarry in the 19th century and marble from Cockeysville was used to build the Washington Monument. The stone used in the first phase of construction is different from that used in the upper section. The latter came from Beaver Dam Quarry which is now a large swimming hole. Bonnie Blink, a 250 acre property in Cockeysville is the retirement home for Master Masons, Eastern Star ladies and their families.
