Located where the Susquehanna River meets the Bay, Havre de Grace's location was described by John Smith as "Smiths Falles". To mark the location and others along the headwaters of the Bay, Smith and his crew ...cut in trees so  many crosses as we would, and in many places made holes  in trees, wherein we writ notes, and in some places  crosses of brasse, to signifie to any, English-men had  beene there.
