The Great Seal of Calvert County By John T. Marck
Calvert County was established by an Order in Council of 1654, the fourth county to be built, and called Patuxent County until 1658. The County name derives from the family name of the proprietary, the founding family. The Seal was designed and adopted as the official Calvert County seal in 1954. It shows a Tobacco Leaf, Calvert's leading product; a Horn of Plenty symbolizing fertility and hospitality of Calvert County; an Oyster Shell portrays the bountifulness of Calvert's Seafood Industry and Rope and Anchors which symbolizes the nautical tradition of our forefathers which continues to be perpetuated today.
