HISTORY
CLOSEST FREEWAYS: I-95, I-70, I-695, I-895
APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 645,593
When John Smith first explored here in 1608, he was traveling
on the land of the Susquehannock tribe. A few settlers followed
his footsteps in 1661, but it wasn't until 1729 that the town
was establish and named after the barons of Baltimore, who were
the founders of the Maryland Colony.
Flourishing as a flour-milling and shipbuilding center, Baltimore
played an important role in the founding of our country. It was
home to the Continental Congress in 1777 and, watching the fierce
battle at Fort McHenry, in 1814 caused Francis Scott Key to write
"The Star Spangled Banner."
