Between June and September 1764, Charles Mason, an astronomer, and Jeremiah Dixon, a mathematician and surveyor, led a party of thirty-nine in surveying the north-south line between the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania, now Delaware. They measured off the line and planted waist-high limestone markers at one-mile intervals, then later returned to place crownstone markers every five miles.
