Annapolis, Maryland: The city of The U.S. Naval Academy and the oldest-functioning State Capitol Building in the country. : Annapolis, the state capital of Maryland, was founded in 1649 and served briefly as the Nation's Capital in 1783.   The historic Maryland State House, built in 1772, is the oldest state capital building in the United States still in legislative use. 

Some History
The capital of Maryland was originally called "Providence" when settled by the Puritans. It was later called "Anne Arundel's Towne" after the wife of Lord Baltimore, who owned the proprietary colony. It wasn't until a Royal Governor, Sir Francis Nicholson, moved the capital here from St. Mary's City that the small seaport received its present name. Sir Francis chose to honor Princess Anne, heir to the throne. In 1708, as Queen, she chartered her colonial namesake as a city. Her royal badge, with a crown over the entwined thistle of Scotland and Tudor rose of England, is depicted on the Annapolis flag. A thriving shipping industry brought great wealth to Annapolis, reflected quality of life. Prosperous merchants and "planters" sought to duplicate the amenities of their homeland in the colonies, and built mansions that would rival any in England. These homes, which entertained many of our Founding Fathers, had ballrooms and formal gardens where lavish social functions occurred.
Today, Annapolis has more of these original 18th century structures standing than any other city in the United States. Many are open to the public, where, their beauty and architectural style is a major attraction. 
Information taken from the City of Annapolis official Website.

Annapolis is also the home of The United States Naval Academy. Founded in 1845 on the site of Fort Severn, it now occupies an area of land reclaimed from the Severn River next to the Chesapeake Bay.
