The City of Baltimore

The city of Baltimore has its roots as far back as July 30, 1729. The city of Baltimore is named after Lord Baltimore, the first Governor of the Province of Maryland.

Baltimore grew in the mid-18th century mostly due to the fact that it was a granary for sugar producing colonies located in the Caribbean.

The city of Baltimore also played a pivotal role in events leading to the American Revolution. Baltimore joined other cities in protesting Boston's punishment by the British by banding together the merchants to sign agreements to not import from or export to Britain. During the War of 1812, the British declared Baltimore a "nest of Pirates."
