Indigenous peoples lived in the Chestertown area for thousands of years, and at the time of European colonization the main people of the Eastern Shore were the Nanticoke, an Algonquian-speaking people whose tradition says their ancestors came south from "the land of snow and ice" through the Ohio Valley and the Alleghenies.
Chestertown was founded in 1706 and rose in importance when it was named one of colonial Maryland's six royal ports of entry. The shipping boom that followed made the town, at the navigable head of the Chester River, wealthy, and by the mid-18th century it was considered Maryland's second port after Annapolis. Its merchant class built many brick mansions and townhouses along the waterfront, and the town still has more surviving 18th-century homes than any Maryland town except Annapolis. In the 1790 census Chestertown was the geographic center of the U.S. population. Chestertown was incorporated in 1805 and is named for the Chester River. Its many sites on the National Register of Historic Places include the Chestertown Historic District, the railroad station, Godlington Manor, the Charles Sumner Post of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Middle, East and West Halls of Washington College.
