Fleet's Point received its name from Captain Henry Fleet, who left Jamestown to explore the area in the 1650's. Fleet's Point was part of an early 5,000 acre plantation granted by the King of England. During the steamboat era Fleet's Point wharf became a landing for vessels between Maryland and Virginia, and the small village of Fleeton developed. The hotel, steamboat wharf, stores, and fish canneries are long gone. Remaining is the charm of a quiet village, with its new focal point being St. Mary's Episcopal Church Built in 1945, Fleeton Fields is a gracious colonial home, situated at the edge of the historic village of Fleeton, overlooking Big Fleet's Pond and the Chesapeake Bay.
