    Maryland was founded in 1632 by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, as a haven for English Catholics. It was named after Henrietta Maria, the Catholic wife of King Charles I of England. Tobacco quickly became the primary cash crop and basis of the economy. The colony was located along the Chesapeake Bay between Virginia and Pennsylvania and had a climate ranging from warm summers to snowy winters in the mountains. The population included settlers from England and slaves, who made up 40% of residents by the late 1600s.
