Maryland:

English explorer Captain John Smith first saw the Chesapeake Bay in 1608. Soon after, in 1634, settlers arrived, ready to start a new life. In 1791, locals gave away a portion of land to create the District of Colombia, which is now home to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Congress, and the White House.

British troops attempted to capture Maryland's capital city, Baltimore, in 1814, leading to Francis Scott Key writing The Star Spangled Banner. During the Civil War, Maryland was a slave state but remained in the Union.

The Old Line State spreads out from both sides of the Chesapeake Bay and has one of the country's longest waterfronts. A few vital agricultural products are chickens, soybeans and eggs. The waters from the Bay grow clams, finned fish, oysters and crabs. Minerals mined incluce coal, sand, stone, cement, gravel, and clay.

Baltimore is home to Johns Hopkins University and Hospital. Annapolis hosts U.S. Naval Academy. Popular tourist sites include Harpers Ferry, Fort McHenry, Antietam National Battlefield, the USS Constellation, the National Aquarium, Goddard Space Flight Center, Ocean City, Catoctin Mountain and the Maryland Science Center.

The first dental school in the United States opened at the University of Maryland in 1840.

The state's Tilghman Island is home to the Skipjacks, the only commercial sailing fleet in North America.

The Methodist Church of America was formally organized in 1784 at Baltimore's Perry Hall.

Are 55+ Communities Really "Retirement" Communities?

Many people who live in age-restricted communities (usually for people age 55+) are still gainfully employed. So why would they live in what is considered a "retirement" community? Why not continue to live in a standard neighborhood? People still employed choose age-restricted communities for the same reasons as people who are retired do: the safety, amenities and sense of community that one can provide. And whether employed or not, once the kids are grown, it is sometimes nice to live in a neighborhood where small children do not congregate.
