The nickname for Maryland is The Old Line State. According to some historians, General George Washington bestowed the name "Old Line State" and thereby associated Maryland with its regular line troops (the Maryland Line) who served courageously in many Revolutionary War battles.
Maryland's history as a border state has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and Southern regions of the United States. |
