Welcome to "The Green Garden County", the heart of Maryland's beautiful Eastern Shore! Caroline County was created in 1773 from Dorchester and Queen Anne's counties. The county is named for Lady Caroline Eden, the wife of Maryland's last colonial governor, Robert Eden (1741 - 1784). Lady Caroline was the daughter of Charles Calvert, Fifth Lord Baltimore, and the sister of Frederick Calvert, Sixth Lord Baltimore.
