From 1763 to 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon surveyed Maryland's northern boundary
line with Pennsylvania. In 1791, Maryland ceded land to form the District of Columbia.
In 1814, during the British attempt to capture Baltimore, the bombardment of Fort
McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words to “The Star-Spangled
Banner.” During the Civil War, Maryland was a slave state but remained in
the Union. Consequently, Marylanders fought on both sides and many families were
divided.Capital City:
