Chapter History
Our chapter was organized October 12, 1965, and is named after one of the signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton. He was the son of Charles Carroll of Annapolis, who granted him an estate in the southern portion of Frederick County, Maryland, consisting of 17,000 acres bordering the Potomac River. Charles Carroll of Carrollton was elected to the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and served as delegate until 1778. He subsequently helped to draft a state constitution and assisted in forming a state government. Carroll was re-elected to the Continental Congress in 1780 but preferred to serve in the state senate to which he was elected in 1781 and served until 1800. Few know that Charles Carroll was the first signer of the Declaration of Independence and the last signatory to die; he lived to be 95. Today, a bronze statue of Charles Carroll of Carrollton stands in the Hall of Columns in the United States Capitol.
