HISTORY OF QUEENSTOWN
Queenstown
"Parvus Urbs Ad Is Aqua"
(The Little Town on The Water"
The birth of Queenstown in Queen Anne's County took Place in 1707, and at that time was named "Queen Anne's Towne". In 1710 the name was changed to "Queen's Towne" and many years later the "e" was dropped and it became one word. Both Queenstown and Queen Anne's County were named after "Good Queen Anne" of England. Queenstown was home the first county seat in 1707, and in 1708 the original courthouse was built. The county seat remained here from 1707-1782, at which time it was moved to Centreville.
