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.

The landing area is one of the four urban areas of Huangshi City, which is located in the hinterland of Huangshi city center, bordered by Huangshi Port and Xisai Mountain in the east, Tieshan in the west, Daye in the south and Ezhou in the north. Now it has jurisdiction over three subdistrict offices of new Xialu, Old Xialu and Dongfangshan, with a total area of 37 square kilometers and a population of 110000 in 2010. It is the transportation hub of Huangshi City, an important metallurgical machinery and building materials industry base and an industry, trade and tourism city with good development prospects. There are large state-owned enterprises in the area, such as Daye Nonferrous Metals Company, Chinalco Copper Strip Company, Huangshi Textile Machinery Factory, Dongfang Pipe Company of Xinye Iron and Steel Group, Hubei Coalfield 182 Geology and other large state-owned enterprises, which are the most obvious transportation and resource advantages in Huangshi City.
