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.

Minquan County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, is located in the east of Henan Province, the south of the North China Plain, the west of the East Henan Plain, Liangyuan Park and Ningling County in the east, Sui County in the south, Lankao County and Qi County in Kaifeng City in the southwest, and Cao County in Heze City in the northeast. The old route of the Yellow River passes through the county and forms large reservoirs such as Qiushui Lake. In 2010, it was identified as the west wing of Shangqiu's "one nuclear, two wings" development strategy. Minquan County has a long history. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, there were cities, named Dai Yi. During the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, it was the territory of the State of Dai and the State of Song. Since the Qin Dynasty, the county has successively set up Waihuang, Chengan County, Kaocheng and other counties, which has been the seat of the old Kaocheng County until 1783. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the region belonged to Kaocheng, Suizhou and Qi County. 1928
