Excerpt from Our Police: A History of the Baltimore Force From the First Watchman to the Latest Appointee In the year 1634, Leonard Calvert, who had-been appointed lieutenant-general and Governor of Maryland by his brother, Lord Baltimore, together with another brother, George Cal vert, and about two hundred colonists, arrived in the new province and settled at St. Mary's. It was not, however, until the year 1659 that any steps were taken towards the systematic settlement of Baltimore county, although it is not unlikely that some of the more adventurous spirits, following in the track of Captain John Smith and Lord Baltimore, had pushed ahead and settled about the head waters of the Patapsco. In the year named Baltimore county was established.

At that time the entire population of Maryland was about twelve thousand and that of the newly created county but about two thousand.
