| Maryland State and Visitor Information |
One of the 13 original states in the Union, Maryland was settled
in 1634 mainly by freedom-seeking Roman Catholics who prospered by growing tobacco and
exporting it to their English homeland. Later clipper ships carried Maryland's trade
to Asia and South America. As the nation expanded westward, Marylanders built canals and
railroads to bring the goods of the newly settled areas to their cities and ports.
Today its farms and industries give it a rank among the states far out of proportion to
its size.
