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.

Weng'an is located in the southwest hinterland, is a national health county and China's ecological charm county, the national phosphorus chemical ecological production base, known as the "Asian phosphorus warehouse" reputation. Weng'an is an old revolutionary base. The Red Army passed Weng'an four times on the long March and held a historic monkey farm meeting in Weng'an, which Comrade Zhou Enlai called "the eve of a great turning point." Weng'an is the place of origin of life and the ancient city with thousands of years of civilization. Fossils of faunas from 610 million years ago have been found here, and they are the earliest fossils found so far. On December 25, 2017, the General Office of Guizhou Provincial Government issued the implementation Plan for Guizhou Province to accelerate the Construction of a New Type of urbanization with Mountain characteristics, which shows that the Guizhou Provincial Government supports Weng'an County to remove counties and cities.
