Port Tobacco Village, Maryland

Port Tobacco, officially Port Tobacco Village, is a town in Charles County, Maryland, United States. The population was 13 at the 2010 census, making Port Tobacco the smallest incorporated town in Maryland.〔(Census 2000. ) (2001, April). ''Charles County Demographic'' 5(2), p. 1. Retrieved July 21, 2007 (Adobe Acrobat Reader required for viewing).〕
==Overview==
This was historically the territory of Algonquian-speaking peoples, especially the Potapoco and the more dominant Piscataway. Settled by the English in the 17th century and established in 1727, the town on the Port Tobacco River soon became the second largest in Maryland. The first county seat of Charles County, it was a seaport with access to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. It declined rapidly after river traffic was cut off by silting and the town was bypassed by the railroad. Moving the county seat to La Plata in 1895 drew population away but left the town with its historic significance intact.〔Donald G. Shomette, ''Lost Towns of Tidewater Maryland'', Tidewater Publishers, Centreville, MD, 2000, pp. 193-245.〕
Since the late 20th century, the former 1819 courthouse has been renovated for use as a historical museum. In 2007 a consortium started the Port Tobacco Archeology Project, devoted to revealing the history of Native Americans and colonial Europeans and Africans. Because of its unique history, the area is "one of the richest archeological sites in Southern Maryland."〔(Nancy Bromley McConaty, "Restorers work to upgrade Catslide House" ), ''SoMDNews,'' 29 Feb 2008, accessed 17 Mar 2010〕
A few miles south, the St. Ignatius Church, manor house, and cemetery at St. Thomas Manor comprise a complex designated as a National Historic Landmark. It is notable as a Jesuit mission center established in the 17th century and is likely the oldest continuously operating Roman Catholic parish founded in the Thirteen Colonies. The complex at Chapel Point has scenic views overlooking the Potomac River. John Hanson, President of the U.S. Continental Congress, was born nearby.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Port Tobacco )
