Kent Fort, the first English settlement in Maryland
1631
Kent Island, Maryland
William Claiborne of Virginia set up a fur trading post on southern Kent Island in 1631, three years before the Maryland colony was founded, and it is counted as the first English settlement inside present-day Maryland. Claiborne refused to hand the island to Lord Baltimore, which led to a naval fight in Pocomoke Sound in 1635 and years of armed dispute. Most of the site has since eroded into Eastern Bay, and the land beside it is private.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
