Randallstown was founded in the 1700s by two brothers from England, Thomas and Christopher Randall.<ref name=bsunoct1994>{{cite news|last=Tassy|first=Elaine|title=Suburban community in 'state of transition'|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-10-09/business/1994282150_1_randallstown-high-school-pikesville-shopping|accessdateaccess-date=17 May 2012|newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|date=9 October 1994}}</ref> They introduced a tavern on Liberty Road serving travelers.<ref name=bsunoct1994 /> In 1880, Randallstown had a population of 100.<ref name=bsunoct1994 />

===Public transportation===
While Randallstown was at one time the planned terminus for the [[Baltimore Metro Subway]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadstothefuture.com/BRRTS.html |title=Baltimore Region Rapid Transit System |publisher=Roadstothefuture.com |access-date=2020-01-18}}</ref> the line was ultimately built to nearby [[Owings Mills, Maryland|Owings Mills]]. Though no stops on the line are actually in Randallstown, the three stops in Baltimore County are all within a close drive of the Randallstown area.
 
Bus service in Randallstown is available on the [[Maryland Transit Administration]]'s bus routes [[Route 54 (MTA Maryland)|54]] and [[Route 77 (MTA Maryland)|77]]. There is no bus link between Randallstown and nearby [[Carroll County, Maryland|Carroll County]], in part due to longstanding opposition to inter-county public transit from Carroll County officials and residents.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1998-05-20-1998140063-story.html |title=Large parking lot in Eldersburg raises fears of mass transit But county, MTA officials insist the new site will not become a park-and-ride |publisher=Baltimore Sun |accessdateaccess-date=2019-08-25}}</ref>
