Chestertown, Colonial port town in Kent County, Maryland, US
The brick sidewalks and restored colonial residences line the streets of Chestertown, where Federal and Georgian architecture defines the Historic District landscape.
Established in 1706 as one of Maryland's Royal Ports of Entry, Chestertown developed into the second most important shipping center after Annapolis.
