Get to Know Annapolis
In 1695, the peninsula seaport of Ann Arundel Town was named for Princess Anne, soon to become queen, and laid out like Paris in a baroque plan, with streets radiating from Church and State Circles to the surrounding waterways.
Today the City of Annapolis includes the Historic District and many other neighborhoods that grew along the rivers and creeks of the Chesapeake Bay- there’s water at the end of most streets. More Annapolis History
