Owner's Description

Havre de Grace, MD The Citizens NB Ch. # 5445 PMG 12 $20 1902 PB Fr. 659 SN 4766 pp A/890 dtd. June 16, 1920. Great name on a tough Harford County note. Faded signatures of W.A. Leffler, Cashier and Joseph Condon, President remain visible. Havre de Grace is at the mouth of the Susquehanna River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay.

During the Revolutionary War, the small hamlet known as Harmer's Town was visited several times by General Lafayette, considered a hero of the war. He commented that the area reminded him of the French seaport of Le Havre, which had originally been named Le Havre-de-Grâce. Inspired by Lafayette's comments, the residents incorporated the town as Havre de Grace in 1785.
