Annapolis is part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area .

Annapolis is the home of St. John's College .
History Colonial and early United States A settlement in the Province of Maryland named Providence was founded on the north shore of the Severn River in 1649 by Puritan exiles from Virginia led by Governor William Stone . The settlers later moved to a better-protected harbor on the south shore. The settlement on the south shore was initially named "Town at Proctor's," then "Town at the Severn," and later " Anne Arundel 's Towne" . The city became very wealthy through the slave trade . In 1654, after the Third English Civil War , Parliamentary forces assumed control of Maryland and Stone went into exile in Virginia . Per orders from Lord Baltimore, Stone returned the following spring at the head of a Cavalier force. On March 25, 1655, in what is known as the Battle of the Severn , Stone was defeated, taken prisoner, and replaced by Josias Fendall as Governor. Fendall governed Maryland during the latter half of the Commonwealth . In 1660, he was replaced by Phillip Calvert after the restoration of Charles II as King in England. In 1694, soon after the overthrow of the Catholic government of Thomas Lawrence , Francis Nicholson moved the capital of the royal colony to Anne Arundel's Towne and re-named the town Annapolis after Princess Anne of Denmark and Norway , soon to be the Queen of Great Britain .
