Shouldn't this page be titled St. Marie's City ? Not only to get the spelling correct, but also to disambiguate it from St Mary's County, Maryland.

It's now at St. Mary's City, Maryland in line with the article (and the official spelling?). -- User:Docu


As a student at St. Mary's College, I can tell you that the city is spelled with a "y" on all the material they publish.

Secondly, the college does not run the St. Mary's City tourist center. The City has its own nonprofit corporation overseeing it, and while it and the college have collaborated in the past, they are separate entities. Epictetus


I believe that, despite it's name, St. Mary's City isn't an incorporated city, nor an incorporated town or village for that matter. Can anyone confirm? ianrothman

I was born and raised in St. Mary's County and the name of the city is St. Mary's City. St. Marys city is one of the excepted cases where the city is independent of the "city", another example is Leonardtown, you have the city of Leonardtown and "Leonardtown" which is where the court house and the square are located. St. Marys doesn't follow the same rules as Maryland on city, town, municpality. They more or less follow the example of England. -Daddakamabb

[edit] Archeology

There's not much information about the archeological info or the Time Team dig that took place there in 1997(Series 4) and found evidence of some of the governor's house and some other parts of the settlement, including a location for the Fort that had been located there.

[edit] Everything needs expansion

How can this article not have any history or demographics? St. Mary's City is one of the most historic cities in Maryland, first of all. I am going to work on article a lot in the coming weeks.....--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 21:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

UPDATE--I fixed up the history part. I just need some demographics. I will work to improve on the current archaeological digs at St. Mary's in the coming weeks. The thing is, I never understood how to put pictures on wikipedia, so could someone else try doing that?--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 22:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

UPDATE--I added a Archeology History section. I just need to get some demographics and some other facts.--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

There seems to be no websites that have demographics on St. Mary's City, so I'll focus on other things for the meantime, such as improving and organizing the article's look.--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 23:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

Most of your changes to the history section can (should) have a reliable source. Tedickey (talk) 23:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

They do, I just don't know how to make references. My source is the website provided in the article. I added a ref-improve to the article. I'll just figure out how to make proper refrences and I'll have some on soon.--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 01:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC))

I've figured out how to make references! I am churning some out at the moment, so I'll take the unreferenced tag off soon!--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 00:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC))

I took off the unreferenced tag. I will add a few more references, but the tag isn't necessary since there are references now.--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 21:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC))
