Reisterstown is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Baltimore and Carroll counties,[2] Maryland, United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 25,968.[3]

Founded by German immigrant John Reister in 1758, Reisterstown is located to the northwest of Baltimore. Though it is older than the surrounding areas, it now serves primarily as a residential suburb of Baltimore. The center is designated the Reisterstown Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[4] Also listed are the Montrose Mansion and Chapel and St. Michael's Church.[4]

Just outside the community, to its north, is the small military reservation of Camp Fretterd, which serves as a training site for the Maryland Army National Guard and Air Guard.[5] The Maryland Defense Force is also headquartered at Camp Fretterd.
