Maryland and all the states south of it are south of the Mason-Dixon line. It was originally a line separating Pennsylvania and Delaware from Maryland and Virginia. This boundary was extended agreed in 1779. The line was named after George Mason and Jerimiah Dixon. These men had surved the line, thus the name "Mason -Dixon".
