This article describes the history of the Baltimore and its surrounding area in central Maryland since the establishment of settlements by European colonists in 1661.
Native American settlement
The Baltimore area had been inhabited by Native Americans since at least the 10th millennium BC, when Paleo-Indians first settled in the region. One Paleo-Indian site and several Archaic period and Woodland period archaeological sites have been identified in Baltimore, including four from the Late Woodland period. During the Late Woodland period, the archaeological culture known as the "Potomac Creek complex" resided in an area from Baltimore to the Rappahannock River in Virginia, primarily along the Potomac River downstream from the Fall Line.

In the early 1600s, the immediate Baltimore vicinity was populated by Native Americans. The Baltimore County area northward was used as hunting grounds by the Susquehannocks living in the lower Susquehanna River valley who "controlled all of the upper tributaries of the Chesapeake" but "refrained from much contact with Powhatan in the Potomac region." Pressured by the Susquehannocks, the Piscataway tribe of Algonquians stayed well south of the Baltimore area and inhabited primarily the north bank of the Potomac River in what is now Charles and southern Prince George's south of the Fall Line as depicted on John Smith's 1608 map which faithfully mapped settlements, mapped none in the Baltimore vicinity, while noting a dozen Patuxent River settlements that were under some degree of Piscataway suzerainty.

This is one of the most sanitized telling of Baltimore City history that I have ever heard. The fist mention of slavery was of “ex slaves”. Though the city was built around and based on the port, there is no mention of the slaves brought and transported by the ships landing in and leaving the port. There is no mention of the thriving slave trade in Baltimore, the trading blocks and slave auctions all around the harbor as well as the slave pens u ground throughout the area but especially in fells point.

If someone can find the article, I'll create a YouTube video and read it (I'm a voice over artist). This is awful.

I wish there were citations for some of this, as some of these statements are so broad they’re a little unbelievable. “There wasn’t any violent/battles of the revolutionary war in Baltimore.” (Cite) and “native Americans cordially blended with the colonizers.” (Needs cite.) Some of the language here is perplexing when in use for academic purposes. Some of this was very informative but I’m asking you and anyone who listens to this to find the citations for this material. It’s a little all over the place imo.
