One of the original 13 states to join the Union (in 1788), Maryland is
in the middle of the Eastern Seaboard. It's believed that Lord
Baltimore, who received a charter for the land in 1632, named the
state after Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of King Charles I. The Mason
and Dixon line was drawn in the 1760s to settle a dispute between the
Penn and Calvert families. In addition to marking the boundary between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, it is the traditional boundary between the
North and the South. Maryland is known as the "Free State"; its flower
is the black-eyed susan; and its capital is Annapolis, home of the
U.S. Naval Academy.
