:"See Sandy Springs for other places."

Sandy Spring, Maryland is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The community was founded by Quakers who arrived in the early 1700s searching for land where they could grow tobacco and corn. They built their meeting house in 1817 near a fresh-water spring which gave its name to the community. A Quaker school, Sandy Spring Friends School, was established in 1961.

The United States Census Bureau combines Sandy Spring with the nearby community of Ashton to form the census-designated place of Ashton-Sandy Spring, and all census data are tabulated for this combined entity.
