Cecil County is located in the northeastern corner of Maryland, atop the Chesapeake Bay and along the Interstate 95/U.S. Rt. 40 corridor. The county is steeped in American history dating to 1606, when Captain John Smith first visited. The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal was built from 1821-1829. Today about 70% of the county is farmland; its major industrial centers are located along or near interchanges of I-95 at the towns of Elkton, North East and Perryville.
