French Street, 4th Floor Wilmington, DE 19801 FOREWORD Delaware was the "The First State" to ratify the United States Constitution but possibly is the last state to have its boundaries settled. It took from 1681 to 1934 to settle and mark most of them and still there is a part that remains to be determined. There are many unusual elements of the boundaries including a circular boundary that it shares with three other states.

    The Qreat Seal of Maryland Description of the Qreat Seal of Maryland The Great Seal and Flag of Maryland are so intimately connected the one with the other that their history is inseparable. The flag of the State bears the escutcheon of the Great Seal—the Calvert and Crossland arms quartered. Maryland is unique in her Great Seal, and presents a marked contrast with those of the other States of the American Union, in that it consists of Armorial bearings of a strictly heraldic character, while the others bear “emblems indicative of agriculture and commerce, plenty and prosperity, or kindred sub- jects represented in a more or less pictorial or allegorical manner.” The first Great Seal brought over by Governor Leonard Calvert, in 1643, was “Treacherously and violently taken away by Richard Ingle, or his accomplices, in or about February A. D. 1644, and hath ever since been so disposed of it cannot be recovered.” In 1648, Baltimore sent to the province, through Governor William Stone, a second Great Seal cut in silver. The escutcheon bore the Calvert and Crossland arms quartered. The first and fourth quarters consisted of “six pales” or verticle bars, alternately gold and black with a bend dexter counter charged—that is, a diagonal stripe on which colors are reversed—being the Calvert arms; the second and third quarters consisted of a quartered field of red and silver charged with a Greek, or equal-limbed cross, classified as “Botany”—its arms terminating in trefoils—and also counter-charged, that is, with the colorings re- versed, red being on the silver ground and silver on the red—the latter quarterings being from the Crossland, Baltimore’s maternal arms— Alicia Crossland having been the mother of the first Baron of Balti- more, George Calvert.

The purpose of preparing a budget is to put forth the annual financial plan of the City, to show what services it is providing to our citizens and how much it will cost to do so. Numerous individuals spent many hours developing goals, objectives and performance measures, and then correlating them with available resources. This is a difficult task as there is always an increasing demand for City services in an era of decreasing revenues. i | Page Contents Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................................................... iv Mayor’s Budget Message .................................................................................................................................. 1 About Westminster ............................................................................................................................................ 2 Directory of Officials and Advisory Bodies ..................................................................................................2 Community Profile .....................................................................................................................................3

  • Heritage Tourism in the Watermen Communities of the Chesapeake
    HERITAGE TOURISM IN THE WATERMEN COMMUNITIES OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY by MARK DANIEL WIEST (Under the Direction of THEODORE GRAGSON) ABSTRACT This research investigates the vulnerabilities facing commercial fishing communities as they work to maintain livelihoods based on and around the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. It focuses on how recent initiatives in Maryland to involve watermen in heritage tourism projects address these vulnerabilities and how watermen are choosing to participate in the program. Additionally, it investigates the watermen characteristics associated with success in heritage tourism ventures and if participation in heritage tourism challenge traditional harvesting-based livelihoods and identities. This research pursues these lines of inquiry through semi-structured interviews and ethnography and concludes that heritage tourism is a means through which fishing communities can increase their resilience.

  • Discover Maryland
    Discover Maryland Information about the 7th State April 28, 1788 Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., Governor Michael S. Steele, Lt. Governor Introduction Welcome to the State of Maryland. Maryland, it is a small and diverse state made up of different geographical regions, is important to the history of the United States and is home to many famous people. We hope that you find this packet informative and that you visit this great State soon. Early Inhabitants The Chesapeake Bay was formed about 15,000 years ago by glaciers in the Susquehanna Valley. Chesapeake means “great salt water”. The Susquehannocks were the main Native American group to live in the area.. Maryland’s Name European ships explored the region beginning in the late 1500s. In 1631, William Claiborne established a trading post on Kent Island. Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, received a grant in 1632 from King Charles I of England for all the land that is now Maryland. Maryland was named after Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669), wife of Charles I and daughter of Henry IV of France. In 1634, the two ships The Ark and The Dove arrived at St. Clement’s Island and founded the first permanent settlement in Maryland at St. Mary’s City. Maryland Day is celebrated every year on March 25. State Capital The original capital of Maryland was located at St. Mary’s City. In 1694 Governor Francis Nicholson moved the Capital to Anne Arundel Town, which was renamed Annapolis in honor of Princess Anne of England. The United States Naval Academy, founded in 1845, and St.
