Charles County
Origin: Charles County was created in 1658 by an Order in Council. It is
not to be confused with an earlier Charles County (1650-1653) known
as Old Charles County. The county was named for Charles Calvert (1637-
1715), third lord Baltimore. Calvert lived in Maryland from 1661 until he
returned to England in 1684. He was proprietor of the Maryland colony
from 1675 to 1689, when he lost his right to govern. From 1692 until
Calvert's death in 1715, Maryland was governed as a royal colony.
