Maryland is a diverse gathering of resources, industry, cities, farms, historic landmarks, and quirky facts.
Facts like the state’s nickname, Old Line State. A phrase meant to honor the 400 Revolutionary War soldiers who held the line against 10,000 British troops so the rest of the American army could escape. Like the state bird – the Baltimore oriole – which is also the name of the state’s professional baseball team. And like the state flower – the black-eyed Susan – which was chosen because its yellow and black bloom matches the colors of the Calvert family crest and the state flag.
Maryland is one of the smallest states in area. But also one of the most densely populated. Maryland is quite the place to be.
