The town of Gainesburg began in 1765 when a small agricultural reclaimed land called Logtown was built near the present-day Summit Hall in the land patent "Deir Park" issued to the Ralph Club in 1725. The northern part of the land patent was purchased by Henry Brooks and his own family, Montpellier, was built in the late 1780s or early 1790s. Brooke's stepson, Benjamin Gayther, inherited the land, and by the 1850s the area was no longer called a logtown, and the residents came to be called Gainesburg.

In 1873, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad built Gainesburg Station, designed by Evraim Francis Baldwin. It was one of the Victorian railway stations in Maryland, which Baldwin had designed. After that, rapid growth occurred, and on April 5, 1878, the municipal system was established. In 1899, Gainesburg was chosen as one of six construction sites of the International Latitude Observatory as part of a plan to measure the fluctuation of the earth's Arctic axis. The Gainesburg Latitude Observatory is the only national historic building in the city (as of 2007). The other five observation stations are located in Japan, Italy, Russia and the United States of America (two locations), where the information gathered is still used by scientists today to determine polar motion with information from satellites. The information is the size, shape, and physical properties of the earth, and is also used for space development through the accurate flight patterns of orbiting satellites. The operation of the Gainesburg Latitude Observatory ended in 1982, as manual observations were replaced by computers.

In 1996, there was a subway accident at Washington Metro.
