Chesapeake City is a town in Cecil County, Maryland, United States. The population was 736 at the 2020 census.
The town was originally named by Bohemian colonist Augustine Herman[3] the Village of Bohemia — or Bohemia Manor — but the name was changed in 1839 after the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal (C&D Canal) was built in 1829. Today, the town contains numerous old homes from that era that have been converted into bed and breakfasts, restaurants and the local historical museum.
