Louisville (/ˈluːivɪl/ (listen) LOO-ee-vil, US: /ˈluːɪvɪl/ (listen) LOO-ə-vəl, locally /ˈlʊvɪl/ (listen) LUUV-əl) is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 28th most-populous city in the United States.[a] Louisville is the historical seat and, since 2003, the nominal seat of Jefferson County, on the Indiana border.

Named after King Louis XVI of France, Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, making it one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachians. With nearby Falls of the Ohio as the only major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, the settlement first grew as a portage site. It was the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which grew into a 6,000-mile (9,700 km) system across 13 states.

Today, the city is known as the home of boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the University of Louisville and its Cardinals, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and three of Kentucky's six Fortune 500 companies: Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands. Muhammad Ali International Airport, Louisville's main commercial airport, hosts UPS's worldwide hub.

"Awati" is transliterated in Uygur language, meaning "prosperity". The area of Awati County used to be called "Duolang" and was the hometown of "Duolang people" (ancient Uygur tribes). Later, a large number of farmers emigrated here, with a sudden increase in population, a wide range of arable land and a changing face, so they changed their name to Awati. Awati County, which belongs to Aksu region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, is an important grain, cotton and fruit base in the region. It covers an area of 13259 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 5 townships, 3 towns and 3 agricultural and forestry farms. There are 118villages, 7 neighborhood committees, 34 companies and more than 80 animal husbandry sites, as well as some regimental farms of the first Agricultural Division of the bingtuan. In 2012, the population of the county was 245800, including Uygur, Han, Hui, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Uzbek, Mongolian, Xibe and Russian.
