Cecil County was erected in 1674 from Balti-
more and Kent counties by proclamation of the
Governor. The County was named for Cecilius
Calvert (1605-1675), Second Lord Baltimore,
and founder of the Maryland colony. Although
he never lived in Maryland, Cecilius Calvert
was Proprietor of the colony from 1632 until
his death in Middlesex, England in 1675.
