Childs Express, Inc.

For over 120 years and 5 generations, the Childs family has been a staple in the city of Baltimore. Between 1880 and 1900, Baltimore’s population grew by more than 175,000 people, and the port was busier than ever with an increased demand for grain, flour, cotton, and tobacco in Europe.

It was during this time of economic growth that W.C. Childs hitched his team of horses to the wagon and founded what would become one of the longest standing family run businesses in Maryland.
