* First Division of Dorchester County into Hundreds:
The first political divisions of Dorchester County were hundreds, of which there is no official record to be found of their boundary lines, but the locations of the hundreds are recognizable by their names. They were laid out prior to 1698 when there were few roads through the vast forests which were only bounded by creeks, streams and other bodies of water.
The names of the hundreds were:
I. Great Choptank Hundred.
2. Nanticoke Hundred.
3. Transquaking Hundred.
4. Fishing Creek Hundred.
5. Little Choptank Hundred.
6. Hermitage (or Armitage) Hundred.
7. Straits Hundred.
8. Cambridge Hundred.
These divisions of the county were recognized in the appointment of constables, road overseers and other district officials, but were not election districts. They were retained as county divisions until 1829 when the county was divided into eight election districts herein named." Hist. of Dorch. Co.,-Elias Jones, 1902, pp. 142, 143.
