In March 1634, Governor Leonard Calvert and the first Maryland colonists came to this island in the vessels Ark and Dove. Here they took possession of the Province of Maryland, erected a cross of Maryland wood, and celebrated the Holy Sacrifice. Here they first brought to the new world those principles of religious liberty which have been the chief glory of this state.
