With a population just under 2400 people, this hamlet at the head of the Manokin River was named for Princess Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of OrangePrincess Anne of Great Britain, daughter of King George II of Great BritainGeorge II. It was established in 1733 and serves as the county seat for Somerset County (the southern most county in Maryland). In the mid 18th century, Princess Anne gained considerable importance as a market center because of the river trade and the southward extension of the railroad on Maryland Eastern ShoreMaryland's Eastern Shore. At that time, the Manokin River was navigable as far as the bridge at Princess Anne. Much of the town's architectural heritage from those days has been preserved. About 150 acres (0.6 km sq) of the old town, containing about 300 structures, is entered on the National Register of Historic Places. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Anne%2C_Maryland
