About This Area

Caroline County is located east of the Chesapeake Bay on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It is situated midway between Maryland's northern and southern borders and shares its eastern border with Delaware. Farming, primarily grain and vegetable crops, is a major economic pursuit.

The county seat, Denton, is on Shore Highway (Route 404), 31 miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. To learn more about Caroline County, visit web sites at: http://www.caro.lib.md.us/library/aboutcaroline.html or http://www.baylogic.com/denton/index.shtml

A unique and interesting feature of this area is its rural character, however it is within easy access to metropolitan and resort areas. See the listing below:

*Baltimore: The State’s largest city is located on the Western Shore in a northwesterly direction approximately 1 1/2 hours from Denton.

*Annapolis: The capital of Maryland and home of the U.S. Naval Academy is located directly west of Denton about 45 minutes driving time.

*Washington D.C.: Our nation’s capital and home of our national heritage is located directly west of Denton about two hours driving time.

*Dover, DE: Located northeast of Denton, Dover is Delaware’s capital and famous for tax free shopping!

*Beach Resort Areas: Places such as Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City are about 1 1/2 hours away and easy drive to enjoy sun and fun!

Again, an advantage of the Caroline County area is that it rests peacefully and out-of -the way from more populated urban locations. Exploring the Chesapeake Bay area is always fun and interesting.
