Neighborhood on waterfront in Baltimore Maryland near Fort McHenry landmark. Noted shipping and industrial area.
Established as a port of entry in 1706, this peninsula was originally known as Whetstone Point. Along this road in 1814, soldiers marched to the defense of Fort McHenry, nearby. Port facilities served as a Federal supply camp in the Civil War. Later received immigrant arrivals, and equipped “America’s Arsenal of Democracy” in World War II.
