Eastport was annexed by Annapolis in 1951, a move that, in the view of many residents, served only to raise taxes.

In 1998, the Maryland State Highway Administration decided to close the bridge for three weeks of repairs. That news, swallowed with several beers at a nearby pub, inspired a small group of residents to stage a mock secession. Their goal: To draw attention to Eastport merchants, who worried that long detours would hurt business.
Thus, the Maritime Republic of Eastport was founded. That January, hundreds of brave patriots and at least 50 dogs revolted against what they called “snobbish Annapolis Proper.” They fired Brussels sprouts from muskets and cannons across the creek.
The stunt attracted national media attention. A Maryland state legislature with a sense of humor issued a proclamation recognizing the independence of the “republic.” (It is unclear what became of the neighborhood’s application to join NATO.) The nonprofit Maritime Republic of Eastport continues to raise thousands of dollars a year through charity events, one of which is Eastport’s annual .05K run/walk.
Brown plays a vital role in the 10-minute race across the bridge. “It’s wicked,” she said. “I stand in the middle, passing out water to everyone.”
Most of Eastport’s original citizens were African American laborers. Some of the black families sold their homes at a profit over the past decade and moved to Prince George’s County, Arnett said, but two historically black churches remain active.
“It’s a good mix of people,” said architect Michael Jackson, who is black. Jackson grew up in Eastport, went to Howard University, and came back.
“I’m four generations here,” he said. “My grandfather purchased this house in 1922 for $1,500. Back then, it was a four-room structure with an outhouse.”
Jackson bought the 16-feet-wide Chesapeake Avenue property from family members in 1996, for $130,000. He gutted and renovated it without changing the proportions. “Now, it’s worth $600,000 to $700,000 easy,” he said.
A tougher task for Jackson was relocating his wife, Alecia, “more or less kicking and screaming from Northwest D.C., where there was always something to do.”
Another lifelong Eastport resident is Sampson Pachler, who was born in September. His mom, Jessica, is the Republic of Eastport’s premier, and was recently touted in a travel book as the world’s only female head of a self-proclaimed nation-state. The book is “Micronations: The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations.”
Minister of Benevolent Activities John DiPietro’s favorite neighborhood activity is the annual “Slaughter Across the Water,” which is being held today. He claims it is the longest tug of war over a body of water in the world.
“We submitted it to the Guinness Book of World Records, but they won’t certify tugs of war because of the inherent danger,” Jessica Pachler said. “We laugh in the face of danger.”
The 1,700-foot rope for the annual tug, which pits “Annapolis Proper” citizens against those in Eastport, was donated by Yale Cordage of Maine. The rope’s replacement value is $30,000, Pachler said.
Michael Pachler, minister of war as well as husband to the premier, and other Eastport patriots spent two recent weekends in a cardboard “Border Patrol Station” on the bridge, where they checked drivers for Eastport passports. Those without received “temporary visas” — fliers promoting the tug of war.
So, you think you want to live in the Historic district? Right in the heart of things. Excellent. A few things you should know. Buying actual historic property is not for the faint of heart. But if it is location, location, location you want. This is it. Walking out your door and grabbing a bite at Joss’ for Sushi, having a coffee at one of the local coffee houses, taking your dog for a walk or going for a jog downtown is wonderful. But take care. Those little historic markers you see on the outside of most of our historic buildings will help let you know what you are in for. Different colors signify different eras that these homes were built. The architecture is fantastic, however the maintenance of a 300 year home in the historic district, not as pleasant. Want to change your plumbing? Better check with the Historic Society first. And don’t even think about changing the front of your house. Remember these homes were here before your people even settled in this country and they will be there way after you are dead. You are merely taking care of it while you are here. So call your builder first and ask them if they have historic experience first!
George Washington slept around most of the places down here. There are homes that have incredibly rich history along with very low ceilings. Small rooms. Gorgeous gardens. Expensive price tags. Parking, well suffice it to say you will know what you are in for after seeing property in an afternoon. But what I like best about selling property in the downtown area is this. Calling up my buddies, bosom friends for Midnight Madness and having a place to park!
