St. Mary's City was the original location for Maryland's colonial government. As the population of Maryland grew, people complained that St. Mary's City was too far away from where most of the population of Maryland lived. In 1694/95, Royal Governor Francis Nicholson chose Anne Arundel Town as the new capital because of it's location on the Chesapeake Bay, and renamed it Annapolis.
