About Baltimore, Maryland

Baltimore is a city of 585,708 people on the Patapsco River. Maryland's constitution made it an independent city in 1851, so it belongs to no county. It takes its name from Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, one of the founding proprietors of Maryland. The colonial assembly set up a port at Whetstone Point, now Locust Point, in 1706 to ship tobacco, and the governor signed the act for a new town on August 8, 1729.

Surveyors started laying out the town on January 12, 1730, yet by 1752 it still had only 27 homes, among them a church and two taverns. Jonestown, which David Jones had claimed in 1661, and Fells Point grew up to the east. The three settlements became the county seat in 1768 and were incorporated together as the City of Baltimore between 1796 and 1797. By 1820 the city had 60,000 people, and its trade had turned from tobacco to sawmilling, shipbuilding and textiles.

“May the days of her safety be as prosperous and happy, as the days of her dangers have been trying and triumphant.”

  • Congress meets here, 1776Before British troops captured Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress moved to Baltimore. From December 1776 to February 1777 its sessions were held in the Henry Fite House, and for those months the city served as the nation's capital. Congress then returned to Philadelphia. Local leaders such as Jonathan Plowman Jr. had already urged residents to resist British taxes, and merchants had signed pledges to stop trading with Britain.
  • The Monumental CityThe British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814 led Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," which became the national anthem in 1931. The city built the Battle Monument to remember the fight, and it is now Baltimore's official emblem. On a visit in 1827, President John Quincy Adams raised a toast to "the Monumental City," which gave Baltimore its nickname.
  • First dental college, 1840The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery opened in 1840 as the first dental college anywhere in the world, and it is listed on the National Register. In 1844 Baltimore was one end of the world's first telegraph line, which ran to Washington, D.C.
  • The railroad strike of 1877The Baltimore and Ohio, the oldest railroad in the nation, was built here in 1830 and tied the port to markets in the Midwest. During the Long Depression the company tried to cut its workers' pay, and on July 16, 1877, workers in Baltimore and Martinsburg, West Virginia, began the first national strike. Strikers fought the National Guard, and 10 people died and 25 were hurt.
  • The Great Fire of 1904On February 7, 1904, the Great Baltimore Fire burned more than 1,500 buildings and leveled over 70 blocks of downtown, with damage put at $150 million. As the city rebuilt in the years after, it raised its standards for firefighting equipment.
