History & History Related Items Prince Frederick history: Prince Frederick was designated the county seat of Calvert County in 1722. The administrators pointed out the area known as Williams’ Old Field as the place for the new courthouse. The new building was completed in 1732. It is thought the town was named for the Prince of Wales who ruled at the time of the formation of the town. During the War of 1812, the town was burned by the British Admiral Cochrane and it burned again in 1882 when a large fire destroyed both the courthouse and most of the town. The courthouse was rebuilt on the same site and it still used today. Prince Frederick, though not incorporated, was designated as a town center by the county government in 1984. This meant that rules and regulations would be established to monitor growth in both the commercial and residential districts. An F4 Tornado came through the southern area of Prince Frederick on 28 April 2002, killing one person. Other nearby areas were also greatly affected by the storm.
