Maryland is a constituent state of the United States of America, one of the original 13 states, located in the middle of the Eastern Seaboard, in the center of a large commercial and population complex spanning from Maine to Virginia. Despite its small size, the landscapes and the lifestyles they support show great diversity, from the low-lying and water-oriented Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay region to the metropolitan bustle of the largest city, Baltimore, to the forested Appalachian foothills and mountains of the West. Maryland was named in honor of King Charles I's wife, Henrietta Maria, by the grateful Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, who in 1632 was granted a charter to the territory. The state capital, Annapolis, is located on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, roughly equidistant from Baltimore and Washington. Typical of the East Coast states, Maryland's flora is abundant and healthy. The modest annual rainfall helps sustain many types of plants, including seagrasses and a variety of reeds at the smaller end of the spectrum to the gigantic Wye Oak, a huge specimen of white oak, the state tree, which can reach over 21 meters tall. As for wildlife, the state has a significant number of White-Tailed Deer, particularly in the western, forested and mountainous parts of the state. Mammals are found from the western highlands to the midlands, and include Black Bears, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, raccoons and otters. Assateague Island has a rare population of wild horses, believed to be descended from horses that escaped from Spanish galleon shipwrecks.
