The major port of entry into Maryland was Baltimore.

Some immigrants arrived at Annapolis, Havre de Grace, Nottingham, and St. Mary's, but there are few existing records of these ports.

In 1660 English immigrants began settling the Eastern Shore (east of Chesapeake Bay) in Maryland. Almost all English immigrants came as indentured servants or convicts. By 1740, other immigrants were also settling western Maryland. Many were Germans who came via Philadelphia Pennsylvania but there were also Scottish, Dutch, Swedish, Huguenot and Acadians coming to the colony. Many blacks arrived as slave labour early in the 1600s.
