Maryland is a state located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is bordered by Delaware to the east, Virginia to the south, West Virginia to the west, and Pennsylvania to the north. The state's largest city and capital is Annapolis, while the largest city by population is Baltimore. Founded in 1634, Maryland was a haven for English Catholics who faced persecution in England. The colony was named after Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. During the American Revolution, Maryland played a vital role in the fight for independence. The state was the site of several key battles, including the Battle of Baltimore in 1814, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner". Today, Maryland is known for its bustling cities, historic landmarks, and scenic natural areas. The state's economy is diverse, with industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology contributing to its growth. Maryland is also home to several renowned universities, including Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland.
