Waterfront Commission Of New York Harbor

The History of Baltimore

Fells Point merged with Baltimore (1773); a Street Commission was created to lay-out and pave streets (1782); and a Board of Port Wardens was created to survey the harbor and dredge a main shipping channel (1783). Street lighting followed in 1784 along with the establishment of “Marsh Market,” and the straightening of the Jones Falls.
