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.

Xundian Hui and Yi Autonomous County is under the jurisdiction of Kunming City, Yunnan Province. Located in the northeast of Yunnan Province, it is the focal point of northeast Yunnan. The Guizhou-Kunqu Railway, Kunqu and Songdai Expressway pass through the county, and the traffic is more convenient. The county has jurisdiction over 3 subdistrict offices, 9 towns and 4 townships, with a permanent population of 457000 (2010), inhabited by 16 ethnic groups such as Han, Hui, Yi and Miao, with a minority population of 110000, accounting for 21.8%. The county people's government is stationed in Rende Street. On September 29, 2018, Xundian Hui and Yi Autonomous County was approved to withdraw from the poverty-stricken county after being studied by the Yunnan provincial party committee and provincial government.
