The town of Chesapeake beach began as a resort community, servicing visitors from Washington DC who came by rail and visitors from Baltimore who came by ship to the western shore of the bay. In 1935 the railroad closed after the depression took its toll on vacation traffic. Today the town doesn’t serve the huge crowds each weekend that it did at the turn of the last century, but it’s still a popular weekend spot.
