For many reasons of religuos
Maryland was created as a haven for English Catholics, who were discriminated against at the time, . They settled in the Colony of Maryland to escape persecution under the hands of the Anglicans. You could lose your head or pay large fines until you were bankrupt for practicing your Catholic faith back in those days. Maryland was also founded to make a profit. Lord Baltimore's father, Sir George Calvert, died before the colony he built could get underway. His son Cecil, Lord Baltimore, pushed on with the project. Baltimore wanted Maryland to be a refuge where his fellow English Catholics could escape religious persecution. The Calvert family moved to the colony of Maryland. They moved there for two reasons: first Newfoundland, Canada (first place Calvert's moved to) had rocky soil, cold climate, and was owned by France. The second reason is when they heard of this wonderful place called Maryland in which they wanted money even though they were already rich. When they got there there was warm climate and fertile rich soil.

His reasons were:FinancialThe desire to create a refuge for Catholic settlers.And it had a milder climate.Calvert was the proprietor of Avalon, the first sustained English settlement on the island of Newfoundland.But he was discouraged by the climate and the sufferings of the settlers there, so Calvert looked for a more suitable spot further south and sought a new royal charter to settle the region that was to become the state of Maryland.Calvert hoped that Maryland would become a safe haven for Catholic settlers from England. It did.In addition, he was familiar with the fortunes that had been made in tobacco in Virginia, and hoped to recoup some of the financial losses he had sustained in his earlier colonial venture in Newfoundland.George Calvert died in April 1632, but a charter for "Maryland Colony"was granted to his son, Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore, on June 20, 1632
to help his fellow cathlics and he hoped to make a fortune.
Maryland was founded by George Calvert, also known as Lord Baltimore, but he died before he could get the charter. So his son Cecilius Calvert was the one who got the charter. It was founded as a place for Catholics to escape persecution in England. It was named in honor of Henrietta Maria, Queen Consort of Charles I.
More protestants than catholics settled there, and they didn't like his ideas.
Maryland is the next colony in order of settlement. The Roman Catholics were among those who suffered persecution in England, and Maryland was founded as a place of refuge for them. Among the most prominent of the English Catholics was Sir George Calvert, known as Lord Baltimore. His first attempt to found a colony was in Newfoundland, but the rigorous climate compelled him to give it up. He decided that the most favorable place was that portion of Virginia lying east of the Potomac. Virginia had its eye already upon the section, and was preparing to settle it, when Charles I, without consulting her, granted the territory to Lord Baltimore. Before he could use the patent, he died, and the charter was made to his son, Cecil Calvert, in 1632. He named it Maryland in compliment to the queen, Henrietta Maria.
the reason is because of what it was like there
A. seek religious freedom
The stated reason was to provide English Catholics who were an oppressed minority with a New World haven.
To secure freedom from religious persecution
The reason is that in massachusetts( in maine) a man name Roger Williams believe that not all puritans should share the same belief. And so he was persecuted, and he established a charter to form a colony.
