Maryland

__ Maryland __ By CC

//History //


 * From beaches to mini golfing and eating out every night Maryland, otherwise known as the old line state is the place to be. " Strong deeds and gentle words" have you ever heard that before? Well that’s Maryland’s state motto. On April 28th Maryland applied for statehood. Maryland was the 7th state to join the union. Maryland’s state flower is the Black-Eyed Susan and the State Bird is the Oriole. **



I consider Maryland one of the most historical states. Starting from 1775 to 1779 Thomas Johnson was the first governor of Maryland. The famous Fort McHenry built in 1794-1805 was bombed in 1993 it later became a national monument. In 1845 in Annapolis the United States Navel Academy was founded. In 1985 the Chesapeake Bay project was started to help clean the bay. The project was scheduled to last until 2010.

**I chose Maryland because I go there all the time but I don’t know that much about it. I love going to the beaches in Cambridge maryland and playing in the ocean there. Also going swimming at the pool in the house we stay in. I also love board walks and the one at Cambridge is my favorite. Cambridge has tons of ice creams shops and i love hitting them all. Lastly I love visiting historical sites.**
