Nature

The flat coastal state of eastern Maryland, with large marshlands, is divided into an eastern and a western part of Chesapeake Bay. The Piedmont Plateau, further west, is a rolling landscape that rises from east to west. It turns into a narrow area that belongs to the Appalachian wooded plateau in the far west. The state's highest peak, Backbone Mountain (1,024 m asl), is in this area.

Population

During the 2000s, Maryland's population has increased slightly less than the United States average. Just over 30 percent of the population is African American and just under 60 percent white. About 95 percent of the population lives in the metropolitan area, the majority in Baltimore (621,800 residents, 2016), and in the part of the Washington region that belongs to Maryland. Central locations in the state's northwest are Hagerstown and Cumberland.

Business

Service and service industries and industry are essential elements of Maryland's economy. Federal establishments and institutions account for a significant part of employment. However, the industry, mainly the iron and steel industry, has declined somewhat in importance during the 2000s. The transport sector is also of great importance for the state's economy. Baltimore's port is one of the largest in the United States and handles, for example, large quantities of raw materials for inland industries. Agriculture is primarily focused on the metropolitan market (vegetables, dairy and poultry products). The role of traditional tobacco growing has diminished.

Tourism and gastronomy

A historic trip in the United States can begin at the Potomac Outfall in Chesapeake Bay. There, in 1634, the first 250 English colonists landed and built Saint Mary's City, which then became the capital of the colony until 1694.

Many historic buildings remain in Annapolis, and here is also the 1845 US Naval Academy. Maryland has many memorials from the Civil War and the Civil War, which attracts many American visitors.

The city of Baltimore with its museums, art galleries etc. is the state's main tourist destination. Ocean City is the leading seaside resort on the Atlantic Ocean, and along Chesapeake Bay there are also a number of recreational resorts.

History

Maryland was founded in 1634 as a refuge for persecuted Catholics in England. Later, Protestants also immigrated, leading to disputes and making Maryland in 1691 a British crown colony. Maryland was one of the 13 colonies that formed the United States in 1776. The economy was based on agriculture, mainly tobacco cultivation on large plantations with slave labor. Therefore, at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, there were strong sympathies for joining the Southern States, but Maryland was held, because of its strategically important location, in an iron grip of the Northern State Army and forced to remain in the Union. Through its good transportation links, Maryland has developed into an important trade and industrial state with Baltimore as an important export port. Politically, the Democratic Party has dominated since the Civil War.
