The first person to set foot on the Maryland colony was likely Leonard Calvert, the brother of George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore. Leonard Calvert arrived in Maryland in March 1634 as the governor of the colony, leading the first group of settlers. He and his party landed at St. Clement's Island, marking the establishment of the Maryland colony.
