Somerset County was established in 1666 by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, who named it in honor of his wife's sister, Lady Mary Somerset. Originally, Somerset County stretched from the bayside to the seaside and from the Virginia state line to the Nanticoke River, holding what are now the three lower Shore counties and a part of southern Delaware.
