Maryland is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Southeastern United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. Its small size belies the great diversity of its landscapes and of the ways of life that they foster, from the low-lying and water-oriented Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay area, through the metropolitan hurly-burly of Baltimore, its largest city, to the forested Appalachian foothills and mountains of its western reaches.
The charter that Lord Baltimore received from King Charles I of England specified a name for the new colony. It was to be called Maryland to honor King Charles’ wife Queen Henrietta Maria (Queen Mary).
Although manufacturing output continues to rise, the biggest growth areas in Maryland’s economy are government, construction, trade, and services. Maryland employees are the best educated in the nation, with more than one-third of those over age 25 possessing a bachelor’s degree in 2000.
Maryland’s gross state product was $195 billion in 2001, the 15th highest in the nation, to which general service contributed $48.4 billion; financial services, $42 billion; government, $34.3 billion, trade, $28.7 billion; transportation and utilities, $14.2 billion, manufacturing, $14 billion; and construction, $11.3 billion. The public sector constituted 17.6% of Maryland’s gross state product in 2001, compared to a national state average of only 12%.
Among Maryland cities, Baltimore significantly contributes to the State’s economy.
