Neighborhoods: Fell’s Point Baltimore’s eclectic, waterfront neighborhood, with more streets and pubs than any other, is known as Fell’s Point. Located just east of the famed Inner Harbor, Fell’s Point is actually older than the city itself. Its beautiful, deep water prompted William Fell to establish the area in 1730. Fell’s Point subsequently evolved into a shipbuilding haven, transformed into a manufacturing area and the second largest immigration district in the United States, and ultimately became a fine example of reinvention and self-preservation. It is the first neighborhood in Maryland to be listed on the National Register of Historic Districts. Baltimore’s oldest residence and the only pre-Revolutionary War coffee house still in existence in the U.S. stands here amongst a plethora of locally owned boutiques, bars, restaurants and night clubs. From the wild to the conservative, Fell’s Point, manages to maintain a small town feel no matter how much development occurs around it. Fell’s Point is unique and easy to walk, consistently drawing visitors and residents alike.
