In 1608, Capt. John Smith explored Chesapeake
Bay. Charles I granted a royal charter for Maryland to Cecil
Calvert, Lord Baltimore, in 1632, and English settlers, many of
whom were Roman Catholic, landed on St. Clement's (now
Blakistone) Island in 1634. Religious freedom, granted all
Christians in the Toleration Act passed by the Maryland assembly
in 1649, was ended by a Puritan revolt, 1654–1658.
From 1763 to 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon surveyed
Maryland's northern boundary line with Pennsylvania. In 1791,
Maryland ceded land to form the District of Columbia.
In 1814, during the British attempt to capture Baltimore, the
bombardment of Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write
the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.” During the Civil War,
Maryland was a slave state but remained in the Union.
Consequently, Marylanders fought on both sides and many families
were divided.
Maryland's Eastern Shore and Western Shore embrace the
Chesapeake Bay, and the many estuaries and rivers create one of
the longest waterfronts of any state. The Bay produces more
seafood—oysters, crabs, clams, fin fish—than any comparable body
of water. Important agricultural products are greenhouse and
nursery products, chickens, dairy products, eggs, and soybeans.
Stone, coal, sand, gravel, cement, and clay are the chief
mineral products.
Manufacturing industries include food products, chemicals,
computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, and
primary metals. Baltimore, home of the Johns Hopkins University
and Hospital, ranks as the nation's second port in foreign
tonnage. The capital, Annapolis, is the site of the U.S. Naval
Academy.
Among the popular attractions in Maryland are the Fort McHenry
National Monument; Harpers Ferry and Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
National Historic Parks; Antietam National Battlefield; National
Aquarium, USS Constellation, and Maryland Science Center at
Baltimore's Inner Harbor; Historic St. Mary's City; Jefferson
Patterson Historical Park and Museum at St. Leonard; U.S. Naval
Academy in Annapolis; Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt;
Assateague Island National Park Seashore; Ocean City beach
resort; and Catoctin Mountain, Fort Frederick, and Piscataway
parks. |
