Gortner’s founding can be traced to the westward migration from Germany to America when immigrant, Peter Gortner, purchased property four miles south of Oakland and established a farm in an area that is today known as Pleasant Valley. Amish church services were held in Gortner’s house in the 1850’s-1860’s, and Peter Gortner is identified as the first minister of the church located there. Peter Gortner Jr. later enhanced the original farm by constructing grist and saw mills, a store, and a post office that was officially designated “Gortner.

http://www.ga.k12.md.us/Schools/SM/history_of_swan_meadow_sch.htm
The old Swan Meadow School was probably built around 1880-90's sometime, on a tract of land, that Mr. Swan had owned and later second generation of Garters [Gartners], for they built it. This Mr. Swan was a military man and also owned the 1000 acres Ashby Discovery tract, where the stone pillar is a landmark in the southern corner on the Brenneman's most southern field. Ashby Discovery tract was bought by Joseph Slabaugh for $1.00 per acre and consisted of the present farms of Brenneman, the Amish Church, Schrocks, Petersheims, Kinsingers, Millers, Yoders, Swartzentrubers, and Beachys. On the south side of the fore mentioned stone is Swansylvania (sylvania means forest wooded, like Pennsylvania). This tract of land was so flat and had large glade meadows of grass. The school was built facing these meadows, therefore the Swan Meadow School.
The original immigrant, Peter Gortner, arrived in these United States with his wife, and $.75 in 1848. They bought land near Sunnyside, where the Breuningers lately lived and is now Joseph Swartzentruber's farm. The Gortners and the Yutzys were the first Amish in this area and they were remarkable people. They worshipped as the Amish did, and had their children attend school near Sunnyside. But in the following years these families children grew to maturity and some married non-Amish.
Frederick Gortner built and established his home where Alvin and Rachel Beachy now live, while Peter Gortner built his home below, along the road. They also built a steam grist mill and a saw mill. They built the Union Church, a store, and a post office; therefore the name "the village of Gortner." They built the Swan Meadow School and donated the land.

Garrett County, Maryland Directory - 1878
http://www.ls.net/~newriver/md/garr1878.htm
GARRETT COUNTY, the last formed county in Maryland, is the extreme western division of the State, and is bounded on the east by Allegany County, south by the North Branch of the Potomac River, west by the State line of West Virginia, north by Mason and Dixon's line, and contains an area of six hundred and seventy square miles of territory. Is crossed its entire length north and south by the Great Savage Mountain, a distance of over forty miles. This Alain Ridge of the Alleganies divides the east and western waters. Two-thirds of the territory of the county lies west of this Summit Ridge; on the east is the Maryland Coal Basin, one-third of which is in Garrett County; on the west, flowing north from the south end of the county, is the Yougbiougheny River and Castleman's River, draining with their tributaries and other valuable but undeveloped coal and iron region. The streams flowing from the west side into the Youghiougheny are Laurel River, Snowy Creek, Harrington, Muddy Creek, and Buffalo Creek; on the east side, Cherry Creek, Little Youghiougheny, Deep Creek, Lary Run, Bare Creek, and Mill Run. The Savage River has its sources and tributaries in this county, and empties into the North Branch of the Potomac, at the extreme eastern end of Garrett County.
The geology is composed of sand stone, lime stone of fine quality, and stone coal of fine quality, as above stated. No county in the State contains more valuable minersl deposits in coal and iron ore. The elevated table lands on the western side of the Savage Mountain, and between that and Meadow Mountain, covering an area of four hundred square miles, is an elevation of two thousand five hundred feet above tide, comparatively level; is about one-third glade, interspersed regularly by ridge or timber land, and is admitted to be the best grazing portion of the State; is only partially settled, and offers superior advantages for farming and stock raising. Immense forests of timber cover large portions of the county. Pine, oak, maple, and all hard wood found in high latitudes of the best quality. Products, wheat, corn, rye, buckwheat, oats, potatoes, wool and butter. Grass grows naturally on the glades, and timothy and clover in abundance follow cultivation. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad passes from east to west, a distance of thirty miles, through the southern end of the county, and the National Road through the northern end of the county a distance of over twenty miles.

OAKLAND
The county seat, is situated on the B. & O. R. R., 232 miles from Baltimore. The location is on the summit plateau of the Allegany Mountains, 2,800 feet above tide water; and the atmosphere is noted for its purity and healthfulness. The neighboring streams abound with trout, and the surrounding mountains with game of all descriptions. The land is good, produces from 16 to 25 bus. wheat, good rye and no better potatoes anywhere; also, oats and buckwheat. It sells at from $5 to 10 per acre, in the woods; plenty for sale. Grass grows abundantly in its native state, and timothy and clover when sown. Oakland contains the usual accommodations for a county seat, and a line hotel, the "Oakland," owned and operated by the B. & O. R. R This hotel is quite a summer resort; hundreds of people from all sections enjoy dnring the summer season the splendid scenery and the pure water, and bracing mountain air. Population 1,400.
