Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore is the largest city in the state of Maryland in the United States. It is located on the Patapsco River, which here extends and forms an excellent harbor, 24 km above its outlet in Chesapeake Bay. The city has 611,648 residents and is part of the larger Baltimore-Washington (Combined Statistical Area) region with 9,764,315 residents (U.S. Census, 2017).
Business
Baltimore is the United States’ fourth largest port city with a large container terminal, and is the starting point for a number of rail lines. The city’s inner harbor has long been a major manufacturing hub, but following the decline of the major industry and rail transport, Baltimore has in recent decades focused on a service-oriented economy, with Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University as the city’s largest employers.
Culture
Baltimore has several beautiful parks: Clifton Park, Druid Hill Park, a plethora of magnificent buildings (City Hall) and monuments (Washington’s monument). Baltimore has over 500 churches, including a beautiful Catholic cathedral, the first built in the United States, and is the seat of a Catholic Archbishop, the primacy of the Catholic Church in the United States. The city has a Catholic university and seminary, several faculties of the Maryland State University. Here is also the well-known Johns Hopkins University with an associated large hospital and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, as well as the Godard Space Flight Center. Furthermore, there are a number of colleges, institutes and museums.
History
Baltimore was founded in 1729 and named after Cecil Calvert, Second Baron Baltimore. The city was besieged by the British during the British-American War of 1812-15. It was here, during the siege of 1814, that Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. When the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 threatened to transfer all trade with the area west of Allegheny to New York, Baltimore citizens responded by building the first railroad of the United States, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in 1830. The city was ravaged by a major fire in 1904.
