Early Settlements
Town of St. Leonard was originally, in 1663, at mouth of St. Leonard Creek. By 1706, when chartered by Maryland General Assembly as a port of entry, it had been moved to head of creek near here. British forces burned its wharves and warehouses July 4, 1814. After 1900, town gradually shifted to its present location 3 miles north.
