The name of the community derives from the Owings family mill operations. Samuel Owings Junior, born in 1733. In 1765 he married Deborah Lynch and afterward built a Georgian style house known as Ulm. Owings served as a colonel in the Revolutionary War. He also served as a county commissioner, vestryman and was a member of the General Assembly. Owings built 3 or 4 mills and purchased a 5th. A mention of the name "Owings Mills" appears as early as 1781 in tax records. Owings died in 1803 and ownership of the mills passed to his son, William Owings. [1]
