Before Europeans arrived in Maryland the land was inhabited by Native Americans. Most of the Native Americans spoke the Algonquian language. They lived in domed wigwam homes made from tree branches, bark, and mud.
Maryland was named in honor of Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I, by a grateful Cecilius (Cecil) Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, who was granted a charter for the land in 1632. Annapolis, the state capital, lies on the Chesapeake Bay, roughly equidistant from Baltimore (north) and Washington, D.C. (west).
In 1638, Leonard Calvert, son of Sir George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, wrote to his brother Cecilius that he had flown the Calvert banner in battle, and through the 17th and 18th centuries, the flag continued in use. The Calvert coat of arms consisted of six vertical stripes, alternately yellow and black, with a diagonal stripe (from the upper hoist to lower fly) of counterchanged coloursâ€"that is, black where the diagonal crossed a yellow stripe and vice versa.
These people expressed their sympathies for the Confederacy by putting on a garb of white and red emblems. The soldiers of Maryland, who fought against the south, similarly dressed in their own emblems that marked their original state. When the war ended, all the colors of red, white, gold and black were connected with Maryland.
The flag of Maryland is sectioned into four quarters. The top left and bottom right are the same and the top right and bottom left quarters are also the same as each other. The flag features the arms of two English families, the Calvert family, and the Crossland family. The black and gold arms represent the Calverts and the red and white arms represent the Crosslands. George Calvert was the first Lord Baltimore and he was granted the black and gold coat of arms, incorporating the colors of his paternal family. The red and white arms are of the Crosslands, his maternal family in 1622. The Calvert founded Maryland as a British colony in 1634. The state was named after Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, King of Britain and Ireland.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Maryland flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Maryland flag for the future.
