Gaithersburg is home to the neo-traditionalist new town of Kentlands, Maryland, designed by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, which was an important early example of the new urbanism movement. Other new urbanist communities in Gaithersburg include Lakelands, the Washingtonian Center, Crown Farm and Watkins Mill Town Center.
Gaithersburg began in 1765 as a small agricultural settlement known as Log Town. In 1850, the post office was named "Forest Oak." The town officially became "Gaithersburg" when it was incorporated on April 5, 1878, five years after the B&O Railroad built a station there.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 26.3 km² (10.2 mi²). 26.1 km² (10.1 mi²) of it is land and 0.2 km² (0.1 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 0.69% water.
