During the American Revolutionary War, Anne Arundel County played a significant role in the fight for independence. It was here that the Maryland Annapolis Convention, a precursor to the Continental Congress, passed the "Association of Freemen" in 1774, pledging support for the colonies' cause. The county also served as the temporary capital of the United States from November 1783 to August 1784 when Congress met in Annapolis.
In the 19th century, the industrial revolution brought change to Anne Arundel County, as the focus shifted from agriculture to manufacturing and industry. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad connected the county to Baltimore and other major cities, boosting trade and commerce. The naval industry also became crucial, with the establishment of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1845, making the county a significant naval center.
In the 20th century, Anne Arundel County experienced rapid suburbanization and urbanization, driven by its proximity to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The population boomed, and new industries, such as technology and healthcare, emerged. Today, Anne Arundel County is a vibrant and diverse community, known for its historic charm, cultural heritage, and stunning waterfront landscapes. From its beginnings as an agricultural region to its present-day urbanized status, the county continues to evolve while honoring its deep-rooted history.
