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.

Wuxue City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Huanggang City, Hubei Province, China, is an important part of Wuhan city circle and a port city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The city has a total area of 1246 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 12 towns and 342villages (communities), with an area of 500000 mu of arable land and a total population of 830000. Wuxue City is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and the edge of eastern Hubei. It has always been the "thoroughfare of three provinces and seven counties" in the adjoining areas of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi. Wuxue City, formerly known as Guangji County, was called "the Kingdom of Buddha" in ancient times, meaning "wide application of Buddhist dharma and universal aid to sentient beings". In 1987, with the approval of the State Council, the county was withdrawn and the city was established. Wuxue City has Wuxue Port, one of the ten deepwater ports on the Yangtze River, where the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, China's longest railway, and the entrance and exit of Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, the longest highway in China, meet here.
