A Brief History of Anne Arundel County, Maryland
Named for Anne Arundell, the daughter of Thomas Arundell, the first Barron Arundell of Wardour, member of the ancient family of Arundells in Cornwell, England. An original county in Maryland, created in 1650, the year after the death of Anne Arundell.
Under Lord Baltimore's orders, Governor Stone's forces sailed up the Chesapeake Bay from St. Mary's City. The goal was to establish authority of the Calverts over Providence. The Puritans defeated the Governor's forces and gained temporary control of the colony. In 1688, Kind William III annulled the Calvert Charter and declared Maryland a royal colony. Renamed to "Annapolis" in 1695 in honor of the Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Mary. Annapolis became the political center of the colony and the seat of government when statehood was achieved on April 28,1788.
Immediately following the Revolutionary War, Baltimore City with its superior port facilities became the economic center of the new state. The northern portion of the County began to develop an economy which was not based entirely on agriculture. Iron ore was mined, then smelted in Glen Burnie at the Curtis Creek Mining, Furnace and Manufacturing Company and at Elkridge Landing. The major cash crop of tobacco was lessening throughout the County during the nineteenth century, but it took the socioeconomic changes brought on by the Civil War to finally force local farmers to diversify.
During the Civil War, both Annapolis and Baltimore were occupied by the Union Army. Camp Parole was established near Annapolis as a prisoner exchange post for soldiers waiting to be exchanged or paroled.
Recreation became a major business during the late 1880s throughout the country. Numerous summer resorts including Bay Ridge, "The Queen Resort of the Chesapeake." Steamboat and rail access from Baltimore brought clientele to Bay Ridge and other smaller resorts developed on creeks in the northern portion of the County. Major Charles R. Douglass, the son of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, established Highland Beach as an exclusive resort for African Americans in 1893. Many prominent African Americans, including Booker T. Washington, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Mary Church Terrell, either visited or owned homes in the community.
Increased industrialization in the County during World War II and the national movement towards suburban living that followed caused significant changes to occur in Anne Arundell County. Major employers such as National Plastics Corporation and Westinghouse relocated here. In 1845 on the site of Fort Severn, The Naval Academy was established and continues to be a major employer. Harundale Mall, one of the first enclosed shopping malls in the nation, was opened in 1958. Friendship International Airport (Baltimore-Washington International Airport), was dedicated in 1950 by President Harry S. Truman, was considered the most advanced facility in the United States. It was the East Coast terminus of the record-breaking transcontinental flight by the first Boeing 707 jetliner.
The staff at Edgewater Restaurant welcome you and we hope you enjoy your stay with us.
