Here is a brief introduction to the state of Maryland.

Capital City: Annapolis
Nicknames: Old line State, Free State

Population over 1.5 million residents

State’s Flag: The state flag, adopted in 1904, bears the coats of arms of two families who were related to Lord Baltimore: the Calvert’s (black and gold) and the Crosland’s (red and white).

Situated on the cusp between Norths and South just below the Mason-Dixon Line, Maryland is a state that is difficult to characterize. While portions of it are distinctly Southern-especially the Eastern Shore, where families mark time in generations and the pace of life is slow-places like Baltimore and Annapolis bustle along at a tempo quick enough to rival that of any Northern city. Even the land is divided-by the Chesapeake Bay-the bountiful heart and soul of the state.

British captain John Smith explores Chesapeake Bay in 1608. Maryland’s heritage is reflected in the diversity of its people-a mix of religious, racial, and ethnic groups whose ancestors shared a common desire to find a better life. Founded in 1632 by the Calvert family, scions of George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, as a haven for British Catholics, the colony welcomed those of other faiths as well. It formally adopted religious freedom in a landmark piece of legislation, the Act of Religious Toleration, which was passed in 1649. Colonial Maryland’s love of liberty was further tested in its gritty resistance to British authority during the Revolutionary War. So renowned for their ferocity were the men of the Maryland First Regiment of the Continental Line that Maryland earned the nickname Old Line State. In 1767 Surveyors Mason and Dixon set the Delaware-Maryland-Pennsylvania boundaries. Annapolis becomes nation’s temporary capital in 1783. In 1784 congress approves Treaty of Paris at Annapolis, ending Revolutionary War. In 1788 Maryland becomes seventh state. Maryland donates land for the District of Columbia in 1791.

In 1828 construction of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the nation’s first, begins. In 1862 Union troops defeat Confederate troops at Antietam. Opening of Harborplace complex, signaling renewal of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in 1980. In 1992 Oriole Park at Camden Yards, a baseball stadium for the Baltimore Orioles opens in downtown Baltimore. In 2000 the Chesapeake Bay Agreement, establishing regional standards for Bay restoration, is signed by Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Chesapeake Bay Commission, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
