After being known by such names as Bourne's Island and Somervell's Island, it became Solomon's Island in 1870, named after Isaac Solomon, who operated an oyster packing facility on the Island. You can still visit Solomon's oyster packing house. It is now operated as a museum.

The Drum Point Lighthouse, now one of the exhibits at the Calvert Marine Museum, was moved there in 1975 after having served at the entrance to the Patuxent River since 1883. Drum Point Lighthouse was one of the last of the original 42 screwpile lighthouses operated on the Chesapeake Bay. The only one still in operation is the Thomas Point Lighthouse.

At the heart of Solomons you'll find a beautiful boardwalk along the Pauxent River with shops and restaurants across the street. Here is something for everyone and a wonderful place to spend a weekend. There are several B&Bs available for a relaxing stay in Solomon's Island.

Solomons, located at the mouth of the Patuxent River offers several marinas and anchorages for over night or longer stays.
