About Southern Maryland! - Charles County Events & History

Letter "F"lowing with the Chesapeake Bay and its mighty tributaries, the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers, is a proud and particular way of life that has been centuries in the making. Southern Maryland, Charles County Events & History is where Maryland's history began in 1634 when 140 brave colonists established the fourth permanent settlement in British North America. As time marched on through the centuries, native woodland trails gave way to the rolling roads of tobacco plantations, and square-riggers gave way to steamboats and skipjacks. Today, Southern Maryland's unique past is richly preserved in its numerous historic sites, dynamic museums, and rural scenic byways-all awaiting your discovery.

Beyond history, Southern Maryland is a natural wonderland, with fossil-filled cliffs and sculpted sandy beaches, lighthouses standing watch over limitless waters and an American Heritage River teeming with largemouth and striped bass. Here, where "time meets tide," fantastic opportunities await for boating, hiking, biking and sampling the bounty of land and sea
