About Queen Anne's County
Queen Anne's County is the fastest-growing county on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and its location explains why. As the only rural county on the Shore included in the Baltimore-Towson metro area, Queen Anne's sits directly on the U.S. 50/301 corridor connecting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to Baltimore, Washington D.C., and the major freight terminals of the mid-Atlantic. That access has built a private-sector economy generating over a billion dollars in annual output, with more than 1,400 business establishments spread across business parks in Stevensville, Grasonville, and Centreville. Wholesale trade, government, education, manufacturing, and food services are among the county's largest industries, while agriculture remains foundational. Queen Anne's consistently ranks among Maryland's top producers of corn, wheat, and soybeans, and the county has seen a recent rise in wineries, breweries, and distilleries built around that agricultural base. Stevensville and Grasonville serve the bay bridge corridor with retail, dining, and marine-related businesses catering to both residents and the steady flow of bay-bound traffic, while Centreville, the county seat, anchors a more traditional small-town commercial core. Chester rounds out the county's mix of waterfront communities. With one of the highest median household incomes on the Eastern Shore and a business community that spans corporate headquarters, working farms, and bay-bridge retail alike, Queen Anne's offers a genuinely varied commercial landscape for a county its size.
