In every county of Maryland citizens display the state flag. In St Mary’s county, the county flag is almost more of a common site than the state flag. The flag displays the county seal in the center with the date of its incorporation, 1637, which is three years after the first colonists in Maryland arrived in what would become St. Mary’s county. The colonists who arrived in the state were certainly religiously minded. The Lords Baltimore were Catholic and sought to make Maryland a place of religious toleration. (at least for all christian sects) The county’s name is given to Mary, mother of Jesus, not the same Mary for whom the state is named.
