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.

Jindong District, established in February 2001, now has jurisdiction over eight towns, one township and two streets, with a total area of 658.19 square kilometers and a population of 361500. It is located in Jinqu Basin in central Zhejiang, between Jinhua and Yiwu, west of Jinhua City, east of Yiwu, south of Yongkang and Wuyi, and north of Lanxi. It is not only the core area of the urban agglomeration of central Zhejiang and Jinyi City, but also an important node of Jinyi Golden Spindle. The transportation network of Jindong is well developed, with the double track of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Jinwen Railway, National Highway 330 and Provincial Highway 03 running through the whole territory. Hangzhou-Jinzhou-Quzhou Expressway, Jinliwen Expressway and Yong-Jin Expressway all have interchange ports in the area, and high-grade highways in the region account for more than 40%. The level is on a par with that of developed countries.
