History

According to the Maryland Municipal League:^[7]

In the 1850s, the area that is now the town of Queen Anne, was part of a 225-acre farm owned by Jacob Morgan. Initially, the town nucleus was nothing but a 1½-story dwelling, but in 1864 Mr. Morgan built a more substantial place—it was known locally as “the mansion house,” and the locale was known as Morganville.^[8]

At that time, the Pennsylvania Railroad had been laid as far south as Greensboro and, a little later, to Ridgely and Hillsboro and thence across Tuckahoe Creek. In 1878, the railroad purchased a site for a station across the creek in Queen Anne’s County, and, quite logically, named it Queen Anne when the station was finally put into service about 1882.

Transportation

The primary means of travel to and from Queen Anne is by road. Maryland Route 404 Alternate, Maryland Route 303 and Maryland Route 518 are the state highways directly serving the town. Maryland Route 404 and Maryland Route 309 pass just outside the town corporate limits to the north and west.
