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.

Jindong District, established in February 2001, now has jurisdiction over eight towns, one township and two streets, with a total area of 658.19 square kilometers and a population of 361500. It is located in Jinqu Basin in central Zhejiang, between Jinhua and Yiwu, west of Jinhua City, east of Yiwu, south of Yongkang and Wuyi, and north of Lanxi. It is not only the core area of the urban agglomeration of central Zhejiang and Jinyi City, but also an important node of Jinyi Golden Spindle. The transportation network of Jindong is well developed, with the double track of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Jinwen Railway, National Highway 330 and Provincial Highway 03 running through the whole territory. Hangzhou-Jinzhou-Quzhou Expressway, Jinliwen Expressway and Yong-Jin Expressway all have interchange ports in the area, and high-grade highways in the region account for more than 40%. The level is on a par with that of developed countries.
