#MarylandDay - March 25, 2022, marks the 388th ann #MarylandDay - March 25, 2022, marks the 388th anniversary of the landing of the Ark and Dove in 1634. On this day, settlers from "The Ark" and the smaller "The Dove" first stepped foot onto Maryland soil at St. Clement's Island in the Potomac River. The holiday began its official observance in 1903 to honor Maryland's history and to increase the teaching of state and local histories in public schools. In 1916, the Maryland General Assembly authorized "Maryland Day" as a legal holiday.

DYK: The Maryland state flag was adopted on March 9, 1904. It is the only state flag to feature family crests and should be flown on a flag pole topped with a gold cross bottony.
