 The other two villages were Recklesstown (now Chesterfield) and Plattsburg (now Sykesville).Recklesstown was named in honor of one of its founders, Joseph Reckless, until the community's name was changed in 1888 at the urging of a Congressman and local resident in the face of public scorn.Chesterfield Township was originally formed on November 6, 1688.
