Maryland State Flag

A short history of the Maryland State flag Maryland has a flag based on European heraldic tradition, and comprised of elements of the arms of the Crosslands and Calverts. The first state seal which on the front showed a mounted knight in medieval Calvert-Crossland full armour, was how the flag was derived. On the reverse side was the quartered shield of Calvert and Crossland, together with supporters, crown, a helmet, and mottos on a scroll and around the rim. This seal was used until 1776, and then it was revived in 1876. The arms of the Crosslands are red and white quarters with a central counterchanged cross with buttons at the end of the arm. The arms of the Calvert are six vertical bands of yellow and black, with a counterchanged diagonal running from the top left to the bottom right. The state flag was officially adopted in 1904.
A short history of Maryland (The Old Line State) In 1767, Dixon and Mason established its boundary with Pennsylvania on a famous line (the Mason-Dixon Line). They were the Proprietors and ruled Maryland until the state was formed in 1776. On April 28, 1788 it ratified the U.S. Constitution.
