'''Maryland Route 19''' is an {{convert|8.60|mi|km|2|adj=on}} state highway in [[Queen Anne's County, Maryland|Queen Anne's County]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Maryland]]. The route runs from [[Maryland Route 213]] in [[Church Hill, Maryland|Church Hill]] to [[Maryland Route 313|MD 313]] in [[Ingleside, Maryland|Ingleside]].
'''Maryland Route 19''' ('''MD 19''') is a [[state highway]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Maryland]]. Known for much of its length as Roberts Station Road, the state highway runs {{convert|8.60|mi|km|abbr=on}} from [[Maryland Route 213|MD 213]] in [[Church Hill, Maryland|Church Hill]] east to [[Maryland Route 313|MD 313]] in [[Ingleside, Maryland|Ingleside]]. MD 19 runs through central [[Queen Anne's County, Maryland|Queen Anne's County]], connecting both communities with [[U.S. Route 301 in Maryland|U.S. Route 301]] (US 301) near the road's namesake community. The state highway one of the original state roads marked for improvement by the [[Maryland State Highway Administration|Maryland State Roads Commission]] in 1909. MD 19 was paved in the mid 1910s. The state highway has been extended on both ends following realignments of MD 313 and MD 213 in the late 1940s and early 1970s, respectively.

MD 19 begins at an intersection with MD 213 (Church Hill Road) in Church Hill.

In Church Hill, Maryland Route 19 begins as a loop off [[Maryland Route 213]] across from Bens Point Road, and is carried by Main Street, parallel to MD 213. It is densely fronted by homes and businesses, and it intersects [[Maryland Route 300]] as it passes through town. Near the south end of Church Hill, MD 19 turns south onto Walnut Street, now carrying a {{convert|25|mi/h|km/h}} speed limit. It passes southeast out of the town's development into open fields and forest, where the posted speed limit rises to {{convert|50|mi/h|km/h}}. After it passes over a wooded creek, the road intersects [[Maryland Route 405]]. Here, MD 19 turns east onto Roberts Station Road. Maryland Route 19 continues west through wide-open fields, meeting [[U.S. Route 301 in Maryland|U.S. Route 301]] a couple of miles to the east of Church Hill.


MD 19 continues through farmland as Roberts Station Road. The state highway intersects US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) before crossing the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the [[Maryland and Delaware Railroad]] at the hamlet of Roberts Station. MD 19 veers southeast toward Ingleside, where the highway intersects Roe Ingleside Road and crosses Beaverdam Ditch. Shortly after intersecting the old alignment of MD 313, St. Paul Road, the state highway reaches its eastern terminus at current MD 313 (Goldsboro Road).<ref name="Queen Annes HLR"/><ref name="Google Maps MD 19"/>
The road continues eastward, the speed limit dipping to {{convert|30|mi/h|km/h}} momentarily to pass through a small cluster of houses and the Maryland and Delaware Railroad. It continues southeast, turning east shortly before it terminates at [[Maryland Route 313]].

Maryland Route 19 (MD 19) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for much of its length as Roberts Station Road, the state highway runs 8.60 mi (13.84 km) from MD 213 in Church Hill east to MD 313 in Ingleside. MD 19 runs through central Queen Anne's County, connecting both communities with U.S. Route 301 (US 301) near the road's namesake community. The state highway one of the original state roads marked for improvement by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909. MD 19 was paved in the mid 1910s. The state highway has been extended on both ends following realignments of MD 313 and MD 213 in the late 1940s and early 1970s, respectively.

Route description

MD 19 begins at an intersection with MD 213 (Church Hill Road) in Church Hill. The state highway heads south as two-lane Main Street into the town limits of Church Hill, intersecting MD 300 (Sudlersville Road).[1][2] MD 19 continues toward the center of town, where the highway passes in front of historic St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the church that inspired the town's name.[3] MD 19 turns southeast onto Walnut Street, while Main Street continues south toward another junction with MD 213 as unsigned MD 19A. The state highway passes through a residential area then leaves the town limits heading south. MD 19 curves to the east at the intersection with MD 405 (Price Station Road).[1][2]

MD 19 continues through farmland as Roberts Station Road. The state highway intersects US 301 (Blue Star Memorial Highway) before crossing the Centreville Branch of the Northern Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad at the hamlet of Roberts Station. MD 19 veers southeast toward Ingleside, where the highway intersects Roe Ingleside Road and crosses Beaverdam Ditch. Shortly after intersecting the old alignment of MD 313, St. Paul Road, the state highway reaches its eastern terminus at current MD 313 (Goldsboro Road).[1][2]

History

The Church Hill–Ingleside road was designated one of the original state roads to be improved by the Maryland State Roads Commission in 1909, part of the longer highway between Chestertown and Denton.[4] Paving of the state road was completed in 1915.[5] MD 19 was among the original highways signed when Maryland highways were first signed numerically in 1927.[6] MD 19's eastern terminus was extended east to current MD 313 from St. Paul Road when MD 313 bypassed Ingleside in 1949.[7][8] MD 19's western terminus was extended north along Main Street in Church Hill, formerly part of MD 213, when MD 213 bypassed Church Hill in 1971.[9]
