'Queen Anne' on the Patuxent River in Prince George's County, Maryland is a former seaport between Upper Marlboro, Maryland and Bowie, Maryland dating from 1706.
In 1897 the United States Board on Geographic Names decided to change the name of Queen Anne to 'Hardesty' to avoid confusion with the other town in Maryland named Queen Anne. However, local usage including signage, road names, bridge names, commericial mapping, the community association name, etc. continues to reflect the Queen Anne name.
