Maryland’s nicknames include “Old Line State” and “Chesapeake Bay State,” and People from Maryland are known as Marylanders.
Maryland’s state bird is the Baltimore Oriole, State cat is the Calico Cat, and the State dog is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Maryland’s state flower is the Black-eyed Susan, and the state tree is the White Oak.
