In the 1850s, the area that is now the town of Queen Anne, was part of a 225-acre farm owned by Jacob Morgan. Initially, the town nucleus was nothing but a 1½-story dwelling, but in 1864 Mr. Morgan built a more substantial place—it was known locally as “the mansion house,” and the locale was known as Morganville.Note that the Maryland Municipal League page for Queen Anne says the town was named "Morgansville", but see this map: Look at the east-northeast corner of this 1876/1877 map of the northeast section of Talbot County.
