About Galesville
Galesville is a quiet waterfront village on the West River in southern Anne Arundel County, with roots as a 19th-century oyster and boatbuilding port. Housing mixes older waterfront cottages and historic homes with newer construction on the creeks. Life revolves around the water — sailing, fishing, and crabbing — and the village keeps a low-key, small-town feel a short drive from Annapolis.
