Although Catholicism is prominent in the history of Maryland, states in the United States are not classified according to religious denominations.
Around 1632, Lord Baltimore (a Catholic) was granted a charter for a new colony by King Charles I of England (a High Anglican). Maryland was named in the charter to honor King Charles' wife Queen Henrietta Maria (Queen Mary- a Catholic). The specific name given in that charter was Terra Mariae, anglice, Maryland.
Maryland was noted for being one of the few predominantly Catholic colonies.
