Maryland Virginia boundary settlement ends long dispute
Governor Harrington of Maryland and Governor Stuart of Virginia declared the boundary line permanently fixed after a century of tension. The Maryland and Virginia commissions, led by Sen. Frere and a Virginia panel, agreed to restore missing boundary signals along Tangier Sound and Chesapeake approaches. The conference recalled earlier efforts starting with the 1785 Mount Vernon talks and 1786 Annapolis convention that shaped navigation and commerce rules for the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay.
