Cemeteries in Maryland (State)

United States

The State of Maryland was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, primarily Algonquian peoples. European settlement began when George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, applied to Charles I for a royal charter, which was granted to his son Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, on June 20, 1632. The colony was named "Maryland Colony" in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. Led by Leonard Calvert, the first settlers departed England aboard the Ark and the Dove, landing on March 25, 1634 at St. Clement's Island and founding St. Mary's settlement.

Maryland was originally known as the Province of Maryland under British colonial administration until becoming one of the original thirteen colonies. The state attracted diverse European settlers, with Maryland receiving more indentured servants than any other colony, primarily English colonists initially, followed by Scottish and Scotch-Irish immigrants by 1740. The region later welcomed German, Irish, and other immigrant communities.

Maryland operated under colonial proprietary rule, then British royal administration, before joining the United States in 1788.
