Learn About Queen Anne, Maryland
Queen Anne is located on the Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It is a town in Queen Anne’s County. The border with Talbot County runs through the middle of town. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.13 square miles. All of this area is land.
Tuckahoe Creek passes by the town. What is believed to be the birthplace of Frederick Douglass is located about 2 or 3 miles south of the town, near the banks of the Tuckahoe. Maryland Route 404 passes to the north of town. Tuckahoe State Park is a short ride to the north.
According to the Maryland Municipal League, the area that is now the town of Queen Anne was part of a 225-acre farm owned by Jacob Morgan in the 1850’s. Initially, the town nucleus was nothing but a 1-1/2-story dwelling. In 1864 Mr. Morgan built a more substantial place. That home was known locally as “the mansion house” and the locale was known as Morganville.
At that time, the Pennsylvania Railroad had been laid as far south as Greensboro. The railroad later went to Ridgely and Hillsboro and then across Tuckahoe Creek. In 1878, the railroad purchased a site for a station across the creek in Queen Anne’s County. It was named Queen Anne when the station was finally put into service in about 1882.
