In colonial Maryland, land distribution was primarily based on the headright system, which granted land to settlers based on the number of people they brought to the colony. Wealthy landowners received large tracts, while smaller landholders often received less land. The Maryland Assembly also established various land grants and incentives to encourage settlement and cultivation, particularly in the fertile areas along the Chesapeake Bay. This system led to a concentration of land in the hands of a few wealthy individuals, creating a social hierarchy that influenced the colony's development.
