Historical marker location:

100 West College Terrace, Frederick, Maryland

( Marker is at the intersection of West College Terrace and Fleming Avenue, on the right when traveling south on West College Terrace.)

Maryland was originally intended to be called "Crescentia": Lord Baltimore's original plan was to name the colony after the Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. However, the name was already taken, so he proposed the name "Crescentia" instead. The name was eventually changed to "Maryland" in honor of Henrietta Maria.
