History Chesapeake Beach was established as a resort community at the end of a short line railroad from Washington, DC. Between steamer ships from Baltimore and trains from Washington, the weekend population of Chesapeake Beach reached into the 10,000s during the 1920s, until the economic depression, and a bad hotel fire, brought an end to the railroad. The construction of the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the 1950s enabled many of the visitors who used to spend their summers in Chesapeake Beach to now spend their time in Ocean City, Maryland instead. A museum at the old railroad station still exists today in Chesapeake Beach with many historic photos and an old passenger car from the railroad. In the new millennium an attractive boardwalk and pier, and a new condominium development have risen. There is also a recreational water park with slides. A very large marina is a few miles north. A short line is an independent railroad company that operates over a relatively short distance. ...
