Maryland information
In the 1920s, a National Geographic reporter nicknamed Maryland "America in
Miniature" because of its vast variety. Now, seventy years later, the state
remains a study in contrasts, offering mountains and seashores, big cities and
quaint villages. The state is a hotbed for history; historic sites for both the
American Revolutionary War and the Civil War abound, and the U.S. Naval Academy
in Annapolis draws millions of military buffs.
The first Marylanders were Paleo-Indians who arrived more than 10,000 years
ago, but the first European to visit the area was Giovanni da Verrazona, an
Italian explorer who traveled the Chesapeake Bay in the 1500s. In 1608, Captain
John Smith arrived from England, and in 1631 William Claiborne established a
fur-trading post on Kent Island, the first English settlement in the upper
Chesapeake.
Maryland's colonial history dates to the days of King Charles I, who promised
George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, a colony north of Virginia. Before he
arrived, George Calvert died; his son, Cecilus, became the second Lord Baltimore
and settled the colony. It was he who named the area Maryland in honor of
Charles' wife, Queen Henrietta Maria.
The state has five distinct areas, all of which lie within three hours of
Baltimore, the largest city. Western Maryland is mountainous, with plenty of
outdoor activities like boating and hiking. Central Maryland is home to the
capital, Annapolis, and Baltimore. Fabulous restaurants are found here, along
with good shopping and lots of entertainment. The Capital Region is so named
because of its proximity to Washington, DC. This bedroom community is a great
jumping-off point for a visit to the capital, but if you stick around, you'll
find more than enough to keep you busy. Southern Maryland is steeped in
history--it's the site of the state's original capital in historic St. Mary's
City. The Eastern Shore is known for its seafood--Maryland crab cakes, to be
exact--and its many water activities.
