e- , HOW PIMLICO WAS NAMED The early history of Pimlico and how It became a race track is interesting. The name of the place originated from an Englishman who came to those parts .from a place on the outskirts of London, bearing the same name. He erected a country seat on the present site of the great race track, and in a few years plowed up a circle and called it a race track. In a few years he disappeared and the old horsemen who used to do their racing on Charles Street a-enue took hold of the placo and put many improvements on it.
