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.

Xuzhou District, which belongs to Yibin City, Sichuan Province, is located in the southern margin of Sichuan Basin, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the lower reaches of Jinsha River and Minjiang River, and the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces; the topography is long from north to south, narrow from east to west, high in the southwest and low in the northeast, with the residual veins of the big and small Liangshan mountains in the west, the north slope of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the south and the hilly area on the Chinese side of the basin in the northeast. The total area is 2570 square kilometers. Xuzhou, also known as Qiandao, has a long history of more than 2000 years since the city was founded six years after the height of the Western Han Dynasty. Historical and cultural celebrities such as Zhao Yiman, an anti-Japanese national heroine (formerly from Yibin County), Liu Hua, leader of the modern labor movement, Lu Deming, commander of the Autumn harvest uprising (formerly from Yibin County), Zheng Youzhi, the agricultural king of southern Sichuan, and Luo Zhe-wen, an ancient architect, emerged.
