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.

Yitong Manchu Autonomous County, which belongs to Siping City, Jilin Province, is the only Manchu Autonomous County in Jilin Province. "Yitong" is a Manchu transliteration, derived from the name of Yitong River, which means "grand, surging river". Yitong Manchu Autonomous County is located in the middle of Jilin Province, the upper reaches of Yitong River, the south of the provincial capital Changchun, Shuangyang District of Changchun City in the east, Panshi City in the southeast, Dongfeng and Dongliao counties in the south, Lishu County in the southwest, Gongzhuling City in the southwest and the suburbs of Changchun in the north. The territory is 76 kilometers from east to west, 66 kilometers from north to south, and covers an area of 2523 square kilometers. It was first promoted to Yitong Prefecture in the eighth year of Guang Xu (1882) and Yitong Zhili Prefecture in the first year of Xuantong (1909). In 1913, the state was withdrawn and the county was established. On August 30, 1988, Yitong County was abolished and established.
