:In the 1850s, the area that is now the town of Queen Anne, was part of a 225-acre farm owned by Jacob Morgan. Initially, the town nucleus was nothing but a 1½-story dwelling, but in 1864 Mr. Morgan built a more substantial place—it was known locally as “the mansion house,” and the locale was known as Morganville.<ref>Note that the Maryland Municipal League page for Queen Anne says the town was named "Morgansville", but see this map: {{cite web |url=http://www.mikehitch.com/chapdist.gif |title=1876 Maps of Maryland's Eastern Shore |access-date=July 28, 2011}} Look at the east-northeast corner of this 1876/1877 map of the northeast section of Talbot County.</ref>

:At that time, the Pennsylvania Railroad had been laid as far south as Greensboro and, a little later, to Ridgely and Hillsboro and thence across Tuckahoe Creek. In 1878, the railroad purchased a site for a station across the creek in Queen Anne’s County, and, quite logically, named it Queen Anne when the station was finally put into service about 1882.

The train station made Queen Anne a good location for sending agricultural products to large cities. Middlemen would bring milk in cans from local dairy farms to the station. Several houses in town were converted to small hotels to accommodate these people.
