Maryland, constituent state of the United States of America. One of the original 13 states, it lies at the center of the Eastern Seaboard, amid the great commercial and population complex that stretches from Maine to Virginia. Its small size belies the great diversity of its landscapes and of the ways of life that they foster, from the low-lying and water-oriented Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay area, through the metropolitan hurly-burly of Baltimore, its largest city, to the forested Appalachian foothills and mountains of its western reaches.
Initial settlers of Maryland were estimated to have come to the region around 10,000 BC. By 1000 BC it was the Algonquian-speaking Native Americans, the Nanticoke, Susquehanna, and Powhatan tribes, who took up residence. When the European explorers arrived, many of the Native Americans were wiped out by disease. Alone of the 13 original states, Maryland has a state flag based on a flag flown under British rule. According to the laws of heraldry, the personal banner of the Lords Baltimore, who were the proprietary owners of Maryland, was by extension that of the territory they ruled.
The Maryland flag was adopted officially by the state on 9th March 1904. It was the 7th state to gain entry into the Union on 28 the April 1788 and also one of the first 13 Colonies that merged to give shape to the United States union. Prior to the American War of Revolution , it used a gold and black flag. It was at the time of the American Civil War, that Maryland bore allegiance to the North Union, whereas others had sympathies for the southern Confederacy.
These sympathizers supported the south by wearing red and white emblems. Maryland soldiers fighting with the south also wore the emblems to identify their state of origin. By the end of the war both sets of colors (black and gold, red and white), had become associated with Maryland. In 1880, a flag containing both sets of colors was first flown.
Although traditional heraldry fell into disuse in the 13 British colonies during the American Revolution (1775â€"83), the arms of the Lords Baltimore were never forgotten. Various designs, including badges worn by Maryland troops during the Civil War (1861â€"65), incorporated these symbols. On March 9, 1904, an armorial banner combining the arms of the Calverts and Crosslands was officially adopted as the state flag. Across botonée frequently serves as the final for the pole on which the flag is displayed.
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.
