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.

Zhangxian, which belongs to Dingxi City, Gansu Province, has a poor name because of its important strategic position and is regarded as the "western barrier" of the Han Dynasty.

Zhangxian County is located in the central and southern part of Gansu Province, located in the transitional zone between the West Qinling Mountains and the Loess Plateau, Wushan County in the east, Zhuoni County in the west, Minxian County in the south, Longxi County and Weiyuan County in the north, with a total area of 2164.4 square kilometers and a population of 205876. Among them, non-agricultural population 19056 (2010), is a national poverty alleviation and development work key county. Zhangxian is "the hometown of broad beans in China" and "the hometown of Hippophae rhamnoides in China". It was named "Green County in China" by the China Environmental Protection Federation in August 2008 and was named by China in 2005.
