At the heart of a mid-Atlantic metropolitan area, bounded to the north by Baltimore, to the east by Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay, and to the southwest by the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Anne Arundel County offers a unique lifestyle shaped by its desirable location and incomparable quality of life.

The county's 437 miles of picturesque shoreline, gently rolling countryside, quaint villages, and historic towns merge with modern estate-type developments, planned communities and high-density development producing a dynamic mix of old and new.

The past year saw the county's continued growth as a center of commerce, a transportation hub and a place of new and expanding businesses and high-tech industries.

Life in Anne Arundel County is oriented toward the outdoors, toward its more than 7,000 acres of parkland and environmental preserves, toward its many waterways and, of course, toward the Chesapeake Bay, North America's largest estuary.

History is also a part of the fabric of life in Anne Arundel County. Homes, public buildings, farm and fishing villages, railroad stations, ferry landings and industrial landmarks remind us of local, state, and even national history.

Annapolis, the state capital and home of the U.S. Naval Academy, serves as the historical and cultural center of a county that garners more than 25% of Maryland's tourist market. Founded in 1649 by Puritans, Anne Arundel County was the cultural, political, social, and economic center of colonial Maryland. In 1694 the Maryland capital was moved to Annapolis. For a short time after the Revolutionary War, the city was the capital of our new nation, Annapolis' Historic District showcases three centuries of American architecture.

History, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the unparalleled sailing and boating life of the Chesapeake Bay have created a vital tourist center and attractive oasis from the hurried pace of 20th Century life.
