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.

Changting County (Tingzhou Prefecture), referred to as "Ting" for short, belongs to Fujian Province, where the red flag jumps over the Tingjiang River in the central Soviet area. It is located in the west of Fujian Province, at the southern foot of the Wuyi Mountains, bordering Guangdong and Jiangxi in the south; it has been known as the "West Gate of Fujian Province" since ancient times. Changting, known as Tingzhou in the Han Dynasty, has become one of the five major states, seven Fujian and eight Min prefectures in Fujian since Tang Kaiyuan bought Tingzhou in 24. For more than a thousand years since the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Changting has been the seat of the state, county, road and government, and the scientific and educational cultural center of the "Hakka Culture (West Fujian) Ecological Protection Experimental Zone". Changting, also known as Tingzhou, is the first government-run city inhabited by Hakkas and is known as the "Hakka capital of the world". Changting is also the third batch of national historical and cultural names approved by the State Council.
