The Capital of Maryland is Annapolis, founded in 1649. Annapolis is the home of the United States Naval Academy and is Americas Sailing Capital. Maryland was named so to honor Henrietta Maria, wife of England's King Charles I . According to historians, George Washington bestowed the nickname "Old Line State" and thereby associated Maryland with its regular line troops, the Maryland Line, who served courageously in many Revolutionary War battles. (History of Maryland) The Maryland flag contains the family crest of the Calvert and Crossland families. Maryland was founded as an English colony in 1634 by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore.
