District Information
The Southern District is known for its rich history. It is home to Fort McHenry, where the Battle of Baltimore was fought during the War of 1812 and Francis Scott Key wrote The Star-Spangled Banner in 1814. It is also home to Federal Hill, where Union soldiers erected a small fort to protect Baltimore from the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Also located in the Southern District is M&T Bank Stadium – roost of the two-time Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens – and Camden Yards, nest of the three-time World Series Champion Baltimore Orioles. The birthplace of Babe Ruth is located in the nearby neighborhood of Ridgely’s Delight.
The district borders Anne Arundel County and Baltimore County, as well as the Southwestern, Western and Central Districts and the Inner Harbor and Patapsco River. In addition to Federal Hill, some of its most well-known neighborhoods include Cherry Hill, Brooklyn, Carroll Park, Locust Point and Westport.
Nearby, you’ll find the B&O Railroad Museum and Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital.
