Baltimore History
In the early 1600s, the immediate Baltimore vicinity was sparsely populated, if at all, by Native Americans. Baltimore grew swiftly in the 18th century, its plantations producing grain and tobacco for sugar cultivating colonies in the Caribbean. The profit from sugar encouraged the cultivation of cane in the Caribbean and the importation of food by planters there. As noted, Baltimore was as the county seat, and in 1768 a courthouse was built. Its square was a center of community meetings and discussions. Baltimore has established its public market system in 1763. Lexington Market, founded in 1782, is known as one of the oldest operating public markets in the United States today. Lexington Market was also a center of slave trading. Slaves were sold at numerous sites through the downtown area, with sales advertised in The Baltimore Sun. Both tobacco and sugar cane were labor-intensive crops.
