A Brief History of Caroline County, Maryland

Caroline County is the only Eastern Shore county not bordered by water. It was founded in 1773 by English and Quaker settlers from Pennsylvania, and was named for Lady Caroline Eden, wife of Robert Eden and sister of Frederick Calvert, sixth Lord Baltimore and the last colonial governor of Maryland.

In Denton, the county seat, the Annie Taylor House Museum of Rural Life tells about life on a farm. The historic Quaker Neck Meeting House in Denton is where Abolitionists held their meetings during the Civil War.

The Mason-Dixon Crownstone is an elaborately carved English limestone post, which bears the coats of arms of Lord Baltimore and William Penn. The crownstone is named after surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who settled the boundary dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania in 1767. This part of the boundary line in Marydel was established in 1773 as the Maryland-Delaware border.

Preston is typical of many small farm communities on the shore. The oldest grist mill in the United States is found on Hunting Creek near Preston. North of the town is the grave of Charles Dickenson, an unlucky Caroline countian killed in a duel with future president Andrew Jackson in 1806.
