The Mason-Dixon Line (or "Mason and Dixon's
Line") was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute between
British colonies in Colonial America. It forms a demarcation line
between four U.S. states, forming part of the borders of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (then part of
Virginia). In popular usage, especially since the Missouri
compromise of 1820 (apparently the first official usage of the term
"Mason's and Dixon's Line"), the Mason-Dixon Line symbolizes a
cultural boundary between the Northern United States and the
Southern United States.
Beginning in the spring of 1766, Mason and Dixon
made it from the North Mountain to Savage Mountain, part of
modern-day Somerset County. Upon arriving at Savage Mountain, they
had to stop again until the Native American chiefs of the Six
Nations agreed to allow the surveyors through the
region.
A "crownstone" boundary monument is placed at 5
mile intervals along the Mason-Dixon Line .
The coat of arms of Maryland's founding Calvert family is displayed
on the Maryland side
On the Pennsylvania side are the coat of arms of
William Penn Family.
