Before European settlement, the site of Baltimore was inhabited by a Native American people known as the Susquehannock . The area was explored by English soldier John Smith in 1608 and was settled in 1661. In 1729 the town was founded and named for the barons Baltimore, the British founders of the Maryland Colony. Established as a tobacco port, the town rapidly developed into a flour-milling and shipbuilding center, with a flourishing trade with Europe and the Caribbean. In 1777, while Philadelphia was occupied by the British during the American Revolution, the Continental Congress met in Baltimore. It was incorporated as a city in 1797. During the War of 1812 (1812-1815) the British made an attempt to eliminate privateers operating out of Baltimore. The ensuing battle in 1814, centered around Fort McHenry, inspired American lawyer and poet Francis Scott Key to write The Star-Spangled Banner. The battles of North Point and Ft. McHenry took place in 1814 and the Battle Monument to commemorate those events, was begun in 1815. It was the bombardment of Fort McHenry that inspired Key to write the "Star-Spangled Banner.
