MarylandRoute18 (MD18) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 20.37 miles (32.78km) from the beginning of state maintenance at Love Point east to MD213 in Centreville. MD18 is the main east–west local highway on Kent Island and east to Centreville, serving the centers of Stevensville, Chester, Kent Narrows, Grasonville, and Queenstown that are bypassed by U.S.Route50 and US301. What is signed as MD18 is actually a set of four suffixed highways: MD18A, MD18B, MD18S, and MD18C. There are also several unsigned segments of MD18 scattered along the length of the signed portions.
What is now MD18 was first paved in the 1910s from Centreville to Queenstown along with short segments in Grasonville and Chester. Gaps in the Stevensville–Queenstown highway were filled throughout the 1920s, leaving only a crossing of Kent Narrows to be completed in the early 1930s. MD18 between Stevensville and Love Point was constructed in the early 1930s. The Stevensville–Queenstown highway was designated part of MD404, while the highways on both ends to Love Point and Centreville were designated MD18. US50 replaced MD404 when the former highway was extended east of Annapolis in 1949. When US50 was relocated as a divided highway between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Queenstown in the early 1950s, MD18 was assigned to the bypassed highway. Since the mid-1980s, several suffixed sections of MD18 have been created, relocated, or received new designations due to expansion of US50 and US301 to a freeway.
Vermont Route 18 begins at the New Hampshire state line between Littleton and Waterford. After crossing the Connecticut River into Vermont, VT 18 veers westward to cross under I-93 into Lower Waterford village. VT 18 then continues northwest running closely parallel to I-93 on its west side for roughly 7 miles (11km) until Stiles Pond. Just north of the pond, I-93 changes direction from northwest to southwest. VT 18 crosses under I-93 at this point with an interchange at Exit 1 (the only numbered exit on I-93 in Vermont). Soon after the I-93 junction, VT 18 ends at U.S. Route 2 about 0.25 miles (0.40km) past the St. Johnsbury town line. US 2 continues into the town center. VT 18 is part of the Connecticut River Byway.
Delaware Route 18 (DE 18) is a state highway located in Sussex County, Delaware. It runs from Maryland Route 318 (MD 318) at the Maryland border east of Federalsburg, Maryland to U.S. Route 9 (US 9) in Georgetown. DE 18 runs concurrent with DE 404 from its intersection with that highway southeast of Bridgeville to the eastern terminus, where DE 404 continues eastward to Five Points on US 9. The route passes through rural areas of western Sussex County. What would become DE 18 was built as a state highway in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. By 1936, DE 18 was designated to run from the Maryland border east through Georgetown to Lewes. In 1974, the route east of Georgetown was replaced by US 9 and US 9 Business (US 9 Bus.). DE 404 was designated along the eastern portion of DE 18 by 1987.
Route description
DE 18 begins at the Maryland border, where it continues west into that state as MD 318. From the state line, the route heads east on two-lane undivided Federalsburg Road, passing through agricultural areas with some woods and homes. In Clarksons Crossroads, DE 18 turns southeast onto Cannon Road while Federalsburg Road continues northeast toward Bridgeville. The road continues to the community of Cannon, where it crosses Norfolk Southern's Delmarva Secondary railroad line. East of Cannon, the route comes to an intersection with US 13. Following this intersection, DE 18 heads northeast through farm fields, reaching an intersection with DE 404.
One of the original Thirteen Colonies, Maryland is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America, when it was formed in the early 17th century as an intended refuge for persecuted Catholics from England by George Calvert. George Calvert was the first Lord Baltimore and the first English proprietor of the then-Maryland colonial grant. Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution.
Maryland is one of the smallest states in terms of area, as well as one of the most densely populated states with nearly 6 million residents. With its close proximity to Washington, D.C., and a highly diversified economy spanning manufacturing, services, and biotechnology, Maryland has the highest median household income of any state.
The Maryland automobile was built by the Sinclair-Scott Company of Baltimore, Maryland, between 1907 and 1910.
Sinclair-Scott was a maker of food canning machinery and in the early 1900s started to make car parts. One of their customers, Ariel, failed to pay and in recompense Sinclair-Scott took over production, moved the factory to Baltimore, and marketed the car as the Maryland.
The car was powered by a 30hp four-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine. The Ariel design was initially unchanged, and the Maryland was originally available as a four-seat roadster or a five-seat touring car. The wheelbase was later lengthened from the initial 100 inches (2,500mm) to 116 inches (2,900mm). Limousines became available in 1908 and town cars in 1909. Prices ranged from $2500 to $3200.
Production stopped in 1910 after 871 had been made as producing the cars was not profitable. The company returned to the manufacture of food-canning machinery.
