Calvert Hall

Established in 1654, Calvert County is one of the oldest counties in the United States. Native people lived in Calvert County as early as 12,000 years ago, according to evidence unearthed by archaeologists. Calvert County's earliest identified settlers were Piscataway Indians. Indian tribes established villages at intervals along the river with the largest being at the mouth of Battle Creek. They grew corn and tobacco on rich farmlands that were to prove very attractive to colonists arriving from England in the early 1600's.

John Smith is reported to be the first Western man to lay eyes on Calvert County's peninsula, describing it in his journal as he saw it in 1608 during his exploration of the Chesapeake Bay. The first English settlement in Southern Maryland dates to somewhere between 1637 and 1642, although the county was actually organized in 1654. Established by Cecilius Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, English gentry were the first settlers, followed by Puritans, Huguenots, Quakers, and Scots. In the late seventeenth century, enslaved Africans were transported to Calvert County and quickly outnumbered all other groups. During this period, colonists displaced Native Americans already grappling with disease and violence both from external forces as well as from within. In 1695, Calvert County was partitioned into St. Mary's, Charles, and Prince George's, and its boundaries became substantially what they are today.
