Annapolis became the capital of Maryland due to its strategic location and its role as a prominent port city in the 18th century. It was chosen for its accessibility and its ability to facilitate trade and communication. St. Mary's City, while historically significant as the first settlement in Maryland, lacked the same level of infrastructure and centrality that Annapolis offered. Consequently, Annapolis was designated as the capital to better serve the growing needs of the colony and later the state.
