Baltimore (/ˈbɔːltɪmɔːr/ BAWL-tim-or, locally: /bɔːldəˈmɔːr/ bawl-da-MOR or /ˈbɔːlmər/ BAWL-mər) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, fourth most populous city in the Mid-Atlantic, and the 30th most populous city in the United States with a population of 585,708 in 2020. Baltimore was designated an independent city by the Constitution of Maryland[a] in 1851, and today is the most populous independent city in the United States. As of 2021, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area was estimated to be 2,838,327, making it the 20th largest metropolitan area in the country. Baltimore is located about 40 miles (64 km) north northeast of Washington, D.C., making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area (CSA), the third-largest CSA in the nation, with a 2021 estimated population of 9,946,526.

Prior to European colonization, the Baltimore region was used as hunting grounds by the Susquehannock Native Americans, who were primarily settled further northwest than where the city was later built. Colonists from the Province of Maryland established the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to support the tobacco trade with Europe, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The first printing press and newspapers were introduced to Baltimore by Nicholas Hasselbach and William Goddard respectively, in the mid-18th century.

The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal engagement during the War of 1812, culminating in the failed British bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become "The Star-Spangled Banner", which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest violence associated with the American Civil War.

Changxing County, which belongs to Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, is located in the north of Zhejiang Province, the Hangjiahu Plain in the Yangtze River Delta and the southwest bank of Taihu Lake. It is bordered by Anji County, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Guangde County, Anhui Province and Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. It is between 30 °43 miles north latitude 31 °11 miles north and 119 °33 miles east longitude, covering a total area of 1430 square kilometers. Changxing is called the Great Wall in ancient times. During the period of the struggle for hegemony between Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn period (514-495 BC), King he Lu sent his brother to build the city two miles southeast of the pheasant city. Because the city is long and narrow, it is named the Great Wall, which has a history of more than 2500 years. By 2018, Changxing County had jurisdiction over 4 streets, 9 towns and 2 townships, with a total registered population of 636400, realizing the regional gross domestic product.
