Annapolis, MD, US - Part 1
Please visit for full video and more free videos. Annapolis is the capital of the U.S. state of Maryland is situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River.
Annapolis is part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area.
The city was the temporary capital of the US in 1783-1784 and the site of the Annapolis Peace Conference, held in November 2007, at the US Naval Academy.
St. Johns College is also in Annapolis.
In 1694, Sir Francis Nicholson moved the capital of the royal colony there and named the town Annapolis after Princess Anne, soon to be the Queen of Great Britain; it was incorporated as a city in 1708
From the middle of the 18th century until the American Revolutionary War, Annapolis was noted for its wealthy and cultivated society.
The Maryland Gazette, an important weekly journal, was founded there by Jonas Green in 1745; in 1769 a theatre was opened; during this period also the commerce was considerable, but declined rapidly after Baltimore, with its deeper harbor, was made a port of entry in 1780.
Water trades such as oyster-packing, boatbuilding and sailmaking became the citys chief industries.
Currently, Annapolis is home to a large number of recreational boats that have largely replaced the seafood industry in the city.
The Maryland State House is the oldest in continuous legislative use in the United States. Construction started in 1772, and the Maryland legislature first met there in 1779.
The United States Naval Academy was founded in 1845 on the site of Fort Severn, and now occupies an area of land reclaimed from the Severn River next to the Chesapeake Bay.
The Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center is conveniently located on the United States Naval Academy, just inside Gate 1 at the end of King George Street.
You will need a photo ID to walk onto the yard.
The Visitor Center houses the USNA Gift Shop and Guide Service providing visitors with the official USNA shopping experience and a chance to tour the yard.
The USNA Guide Service provides public walking tours throughout the year so you can experience Life on the Yard.
Catch Noon Meal Formation as the Brigade forms for uniform inspection before lunch.

The History Of Historic Annapolis
Sir Francis designed a city worthy of a Queen. Instead of using a customary grid, he constructed a baroque plan similar to the magnificent capitals of Europe. He drew circles with radiating streets to create focal points and give importance to certain structures. In one circle is St Anne's, the Episcopal Church, regarded as the spiritual center of the city. As the Church of England, it was originally supported by taxpayers.
In the other circle, rising over the harbor, is the State House, the seat of government. This urban design was admired by frequent visitor George Washington, who later had Pierre L'Enfant incorporate it into the nation's capital.
A thriving shipping industry brought great wealth to Annapolis, reflected quality of life. Prosperous merchants and planters sought to duplicate the amenities of their homeland in the colonies, and built mansions that would rival any in England. These homes, which entertained many of our Founding Fathers, had ballrooms and formal gardens where lavish social functions occurred.
Today, Annapolis has more of these original 18th century structures standing than any other city in the United States. Many are open to the public, where, their beauty and architectural style is a major attraction. Historic Annapolis Foundation operates the William Paca house as a museum, and also has a wealth of information about many of the other historical treasures.
Annapolis has great historical significance for other reasons. The capital of Maryland was the country's capital when the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War, was signed here. All four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence had impressive homes in Annapolis, which still stand today.
As delightful as Annapolis is by water, its very human scale makes it a wonderful subject for a walking tour. Many of these attractions, including the Naval Academy and St. John's College, are right in the Historic District. Best of all, the Visitors Center, with its adjoining garage, is also located right at the entrance to town. A pleasant stroll along tree lined streets will take you to museums, restaurants and some wonderful shops.
