History

In July 1793, Continental Army officer Otho H. Williams sent a letter to then U.S. secretary of the treasury Alexander Hamilton from Ceresville, recommending a successor to the position of Collector of Annapolis.[1] In August 1933, a tornado touched down causing extensive property damage and heavy rains caused the nearby Monocacy River to rise eight feet, resulting in flood damage as well.[2]
