Marylanders

Chesapeake Bay staters

Marylanders are people from Maryland, the mid-Atlantic U.S. state bordering the Chesapeake Bay.

The term covers both natives and current residents: Marylanders take their crab cakes seriously.

The state's odd shape and mix of northern and southern influences give Marylanders a distinctive regional identity.
