Estuary of the Chesapeake Bay near Queenstown, c. 1897

Queenstown was the original seat of Queen Anne's County, before the location changed to Centreville, Maryland. Its location was important during the 18th century, because it is near a creek that, during that time, could be navigated by tradesmen. A hub for shipping and receiving, Queenstown was attacked by English troops in the War of 1812 on the 7th of August 1813.[7][8]

Bloomingdale, Bowlingly, and St. Peter's Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9]
