About Maryland

As part of the original 13 colonies, Maryland has played a pivotal role in American history since the beginning. It was named after the French-born queen of England, Henrietta Maria, who was known then as Mary. Today, Maryland is still integral to the nation’s progress. It is located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the country, and it is adjacent to the nation’s capital.

Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, and Baltimore is the state’s largest city. By being so close to Washington, D.C., Maryland is the home and job site of most federal workers of any state.
