===1960s=== [[File:Montgomery Village Avenue, 1966.png|thumb|left|Montgomery Village Avenue in 1966]] Montgomery Village was created in 1962 by Kettler Brothers, Inc. The vision for a planned community in Gaithersburg is credited to architect Charles Kettler, who incorporated Kettler Brothers with his brothers Milton and Clarence in 1952. The first land purchase was the Walker Farm in 1962. Subsequent purchases were the Thomas Farm, The Mills Farm, The French Farm, The Patton Farm, The Fulks Farm, The Wilson Farm, and The James Walter Deppa property. The Walker Farm was the largest of all the properties the Kettlers bought. It was {{convert|412|acre|km2}} and now is Walkers Choice, Cider Mill, Horizon Run, Christopher Court, Dockside, Nathan's Hill, Millrace, the Montgomery Village Library, Montgomery Village Day-Care Center, the Off-Price Centers, Bayberry, the Verandahs, Grover's Forge, Lake Whetstone, South Valley Park, and part of [[Lakeforest Mall]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://montgomeryvillage.com/village-history|title=Village History {{!}} Montgomery Village|website=montgomeryvillage.com|access-date=2016-11-28}}</ref> On February 28, 1966, the Kettler brothers broke ground for the first house in Montgomery Village.
