History

Galena was founded in 1763 under the name Down's Cross Roads, after William Downs, a local tavern owner.[5] The name was later changed to Georgetown Cross Roads sometime before 1813, and finally to Galena in 1858.[6] The name comes from a supposed silver mine in the vicinity of the town, which extracted the metal from the lead ore known as galena. There is, however, no geological evidence for galena deposits on Maryland's eastern shore, and the story is likely apocryphal.[6]
