Nestled between a cornfield and Route 50 in the small town of Wye Mills on the Eastern Shore on December 22, 1965, the State Education Council in Maryland adopted Resolution 1965-66 and created the first regional community college of Maryland, Chesapeake College.

Wind Turbine
On November 2, 2011, students and administrators from Chesapeake College welcomed Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and other state politicians for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a 50-kilowatt turbine.
The turbine is visible to the driver along Route 50.
Turbines are made by Endurance Wind Power and are designed to produce between 80,000 to 200,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year depending on the wind level. The wind turbine will not rotate unless there is a continuous wind of about 8 mph for 4 minutes, so high winds will not cause the turbine to turn. Winds make turbine blades rotate under low wind conditions (8 mph) due to the pitch/angle of the propeller. It turns out the same speed all the time. It has an internal brake that will turn off the unit when the wind speed exceeds 50 mph.
The energy generated by the wind turbine does not directly affect the electric bill of the Wye Mills campus. Its energy is given directly to HEC, which is not in the campus power grid. Colleges collect the Higher Education Center for energy generated at a rate equivalent to the rate they would pay if it was generated by Delmarva Power and Light.
