Maryland's nicknames are "The Old Line State" and "Free State". Legend has it that George Washington called Maryland "The Old Line State" referring to the regular line troops from Maryland who served courageously in the Revolutionary War. It is called the "Free State" because Maryland became the first state to abolish slavery when the provisions of the Maryland's Constitution was adopted abolishing slavery within the state's borders.
