Baltimore (/ˈbɔːltɪmɔːr/ BAWL-tim-or, locally: /ˈbɔːlmər/) is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, as without difficulty as the 30th most populous city in the United States, with an estimated population of 593,490 in 2019. Baltimore is the largest independent city in the country and was designated as such by the Constitution of Maryland in 1851. As of 2017, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area was estimated to be just below 2.802 million, making it the 21st largest metropolitan Place in the country. Baltimore is located just about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Washington, D.C., making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore total statistical area (CSA), the fourth-largest CSA in the nation, with a calculated 2018 population of 9,797,063.

Prior to European colonization, the Baltimore region was home to the Susquehannock Native Americans. British colonists customary the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to sustain the tobacco trade, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal assimilation during the War of 1812, culminating in the bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become “The Star-Spangled Banner”, which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest cruelty associated with the American Civil War.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the oldest railroad in the United States, was built in 1830 and cemented Baltimore’s status as a major transportation hub, giving producers in the Midwest and Appalachia right of entry to the city’s port. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor was taking into account the second leading harbor of open for immigrants to the United States. In addition, Baltimore was a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, heavy industry, and restructuring of the rail industry, Baltimore has shifted to a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University are the city’s summit two employers. Baltimore and its surrounding region are house to the headquarters of a number of major organizations and management agencies, including the NAACP, ABET, the National Federation of the Blind, Catholic Relief Services, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Social Security Administration.

With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a “city of neighborhoods”. Many of Baltimore’s neighborhoods have wealthy histories: the city is house to some of the primeval National Register Historic Districts in the nation, including Fell’s Point, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon. These were added to the National Register in the midst of 1969 and 1971, soon after historic preservation legislation was passed. Baltimore has more public statues and monuments per capita than any further city in the country. Nearly one third of the city’s buildings (over 65,000) are designated as historic in the National Register, which is beyond any further U.S. city.
