Kent Hall
The first English settlement in Maryland was established in 1631 by William Claibourne on Kent Island, a site perfectly suited for trade with the Native Americans.Kent Island was within the Calvert proprietorship and became “Kent County '' in 1642. Furthermore, young gentlemen could learn navigation, Greek, Latin, arithmetic and mercantile skills at the Kent County Free School, established by law in 1723. Charles Peale, the father of artist Charles Willson Peale, was an instructor there during this early period. The Reverend William Smith, D.D., an acquaintance of Washington’s, came to Chestertown in 1780 to take over Peale’s post at the Kent County Free School and to serve as rector of Chester Parish. In the spring of 1782, he persuaded the State Assembly to charter a seminary of universal learning on the Eastern Shore, and George Washington to sit on its Board.
