A brief history;
Annapolis is the state capital of Maryland and is home to the seat of Anne Arundel County.
The city of Annapolis is located on the Severn River, equidistant between the cities of Baltimore & Washington DC, approximatley 2-miles from it's mouth on Chesapeake Bay.
The capital of Maryland was originally called "Providence", when puritan exiles settled here in 1649.
Later it was called Anne Arundel's Towne after the wife of Lord Baltimore, who owned the colony.
It was finally renamed Annapolis in 1694, honouring Princess Anne, heir to the throne, the name was officially incorporated in 1708, as Queen she chartered her colonial namesake as a city.
