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.

Hotan County (in Uyghur language: Hotan County, formerly known as "Hetian", but changed its name to "Hotan" in 1959) once called Huodan, Wuduan and Huochan, all of which are different translations of the same name. It is said that it originated from Yutian and was famous in ancient Yuchi in Hetian. First, it is spoken in Tibetan, meaning "Yuyi". It means "fence", "livestock pen", or "bunker" in Hindi. The Chronicles of the Western regions of the Tang Dynasty is called qu Sadana, which means "milk" in Sanskrit. In 1959, Hetian was simplified to Hotan. Hotan County is located in the southwest of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, adjacent to the Yulong Kashgar River and Luopu County to the east, the Karakash River to the west and Moyu County and Pishan County to the west, the actual line of control of Kashmir in India to the southwest, the Tibet Autonomous region to the southeast, and the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert to the north to Awa.
