US State
The flag of Maryland is the official flag of the U.S. state of Maryland and the 17th-century heraldic banner of arms of Cecil, 2nd Baron Baltimore. It consists of the arms of his father George, 1st Baron Baltimore (1579–1632), quartered with those of his grandmother, heiress of the Crossland family. The flag was officially adopted by the Maryland General Assembly in 1904.
The Great Seal of the State of Maryland is the seal of the U.S. state of Maryland. It is used to authenticate acts by the governor of Maryland and General Assembly of Maryland, but it is also used more generally as an emblem to represent the government of Maryland. Although the state seal has been changed in design several times throughout history, the current model represents the reverse side of the original seal.
Maryland is one of the 50 states of the United States of America. Each US state has its own official seal, flag, motto, and a range of state symbols including a state bird, flower, and tree.
