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.

Chaotian District is the municipal district of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, with 25 townships under the jurisdiction of the region, with a total population of 200000, an area of 1620 square kilometers and a cultivated land area of 260000 mu. It is the first political, economic and cultural center at the starting point of Shu Road in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is known as "the important town of Qin and Shu" and "the gateway to northern Sichuan". According to legend, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Shu to avoid the an-Shi Rebellion. Various states and counties greeted him here, calling it "the son of Heaven", hence the name "Chaotian", which extended to the meaning of "rising to Heaven". Chaotian has always been the government of Lizhou and Guangyuan (prefecture and county). After the founding of New China, it was under the jurisdiction of Guangyuan County. In 1989, with the approval of the State Council, Chaotian District of Guangyuan City was established. On September 25, 2018, he won the honorary title of "2018 e-commerce into rural comprehensive demonstration county" of the Ministry of Commerce. 2019 1
