The population of the Maryland colony in 1660 was 12,000 and in 1671 it was 20,000.  These were distributed about equally among the original seven counties of Kent, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Baltimore and Talbot.  Calvert County was the fourth political division of Maryland.  It become such in 1654, then, as now, of practically the same geographical dimensions.  It is situated on the western shore of Maryland of the Chesapeake Bay:  bounded on the north by Anne Arundel County; on the south by St. Mary's County, and on the west by St. Charles and Prince George Counties.  It is a peninsula protruding on the Bay with its southern boundary and having for its western and southern limits the Patuxent River, which enters the Bay at the southern extremity of the County.  It has an area of about 218 square miles (21 miles long by 10 miles wide).

 

In the southern part of Calvert County, on the Bay shore are "The Cliffts," and within a radius of five or six miles from the Prince Fredericktown are located the churches of old "Christ's Chruch Parish" and "All Saints Parish," which were the centers of the activities of the early Monnetts.
