It was originally known as Black Swamp due to the large number of Black Oak trees growing in the area at the time of its settlement. From the late 18th century until the mid-19th century, it was known as Goresville after the name of prominent local landowner, Thomas Gore. The name was finally changed to Lucketts in 1865. The town's Lucketts School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lucketts is approximately 7 miles north of Leesburg and 20 miles south of Frederick, Maryland. The Potomac River is between Lucketts and Frederick, Maryland approximately 4 miles north on Route 15. The MARC commuter train makes frequent stops on the Maryland side in Point of Rocks. Train whistles of the freight trains at night and dawn are frequently heard throughout the village. The village of Lucketts is visually cued by the traffic light at the intersections of Route 15, Lucketts Road, and Stumptown Road. Located there are antique stores, a gas station, a few residential homes and trailer parks, fire house, Lucketts Elementary School, and a cell phone tower. The Lucketts School, now the Lucketts Community Center, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
