Anne Arundel County is located in the U.S.
state of Maryland.
It is named for Anne Arundell (1615–49), a member of the ancient
family of Arundells in Cornwall,
England and the wife of Cćcilius
Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore. Its county seat
is Annapolis, which is also the capital of the state. The County
was named for Anne Arundell, the daughter of Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of
Wardour, members of the ancient family
of Arundells in Cornwall, England. She married Cćcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron
Baltimore in 1627 or 1628. Anne Arundel County was originally part of St.
Mary's County in the Province of Maryland. In 1650, the year after
Anne Arundell's death, the county separated and
became the 3rd of 23 Maryland counties. Between 1654 and
1658, the county was known as "Providence County" by many of its
early Puritan
settlers. Between 1694 and 1695, the
capital of Maryland was moved from St. Mary's City in St. Mary's County to Annapolis in Anne Arundel County. Prior to the
move, Annapolis was known as "Providence". Anne Arundel County
originally included most of what was to become Howard County. In 1851, Howard
County was broken off and made into the 21st county in Maryland. The following counties are found
adjacent to Anne Arundel: Baltimore County (north); Calvert County (south); Kent County (northeast); Howard County (northwest); Prince George's County (southwest); Queen Anne's County (east); and Talbot County (southeast). |

Anne Arundel County
contains only two incorporated municipalities: the city of Annapolis, incorporated in 1708, and the town
of Highland Beach, incorporated 1922. Unincorporated areas
are also considered as towns by many people and listed in many collections of
towns, but they lack local government. Various organizations, such as the United States Census Bureau, the United States Postal Service, and local
chambers of commerce, define the communities they wish to recognize
differently, and since they are not incorporated, their boundaries have no
official status outside the organizations in question. The Census Bureau
recognizes the following census-designated places in the county: |

County boundary
changes
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
Conducting genealogical
research in the United States requires an understanding of county
boundaries. As the population grew more
counties were created to meet the public’s need for localized
governments. This phenomena was common
in all states during the 17th, 18th
and 19th centuries. As such
you must be sure that you are not looking for records in the wrong county
or state. The web-site for the Atlas of Historical County Boundary Project provides interactive
maps for all states. This Atlas is meant to be a resource for people seeking
records of past events, and people trying
to analyze, interpret and display county-based historical data like Land Records, Probate Records, Court Records, Tax Records, and Vital Records that document
birth, death, and marriage. Listed
below are the boundary changes for this county, the dates they occurred, as
well as the government statute that decreed the change. To see actual changes in a mapping format
follow this LINK to the Atlas of Historical County Boundary
Project .

Our “Gen-Tool Kit” has been primarily designed for those researchers who may be traveling to this location to perform on-site studies of their family history, or to just visit some of the interesting historical sites located in the area. It can be very satisfying to mix research with sightseeing at historical and scenic spots. Such activity not only gives you an understanding of the land but a needed break from intense research sessions. When visiting an ancestral county for genealogical research we’ve found that the three most important places to visit are the county courthouse; the county library; and the county historical and/or genealogical societies. It is also good to plan ahead by contacting any site you intend visiting in order to ascertain where it is and when it will be open. This is especially true with regard to historical and genealogical societies. We hope that the following information will provide you with a better idea of what resources are available, within this county, to the family historian. |
