Rock Hall, is a waterfront town located directly on the National Chesapeake Scenic Byway in Kent County, Maryland, United States.

Originally called Rock Hall Crossroads, the city is now a fishing, sailing and recreational boating town situated on the upper Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.

It is the center of Kent County's maritime industries, and is also a popular tourist destination.

[5] Rock Hall served as a shipping point for tobacco, seafood and other agricultural products, as well as a passenger transport connection for travelers during the Colonial era.

The town missed out on receiving a railroad connection in 1872, when the Kent County Railroad set out to build from Massey via Chestertown and connect with a ferry to Baltimore for both passengers and freight.

The company went bankrupt in 1877, having only built a stub from Chestertown to a place called Belair or Parsons and abandoning the rest unfinished.

Hinchingham and Trumpington are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[9] The main method of transportation in and out of Rock Hall is by road, and two state highways serve the town.

The primary highway serving the town is Maryland Route 20, which connects eastward from Rock Hall to Chestertown.

35.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 19.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
